Abstract
This paper is a part of a complex research and we aim to present a range of analyzes related to the biomechanical study of the human body stability, equilibrium and locomotion in normal conditions (pedestrian) but under influences of different audio and/or visual stimuli from internal and/or external sources of automotive. Thus, in the first part of the paper the theoretical aspects of the human body behavior from the point of view of the internal and external forces actions are approached and also the initial study conditions are established. In the second part of the paper we present the experimental considerations concerning the data acquisition methodology and the experimental setup is described. In the final part we analyze, from the point of view of the subject’s sample, the results and conclusions of the data recorded during the experiments in order to present and understand the influences of visual and/or audio stimuli on pedestrian behavior.
Keywords: pedestrian behavior, visual/audio stimuli, biomechanics
