Motion Capture Methods in Assessing Locomotions Toward and Away from Goal Regions

Abstract

ARDEC s Target Behavioral Response Laboratory (TBRL) has designed, built, and tested indoor and outdoor crowd behavior test bed (CBT), outfitted with motion capture technology to record locomotor behavior toward and away from goal regions. Aggregate measures of crowd level behavior are derived from the recorded location data of individual participants. This poster presents the methods involved in using motion capture data to derive crowd level locomotor behavior and its implications on psychological forces affecting behavior.
