Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the suitability of the spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) model and three of its upgrades for modelling pedestrians in civil engineering applications. Model equations in Cartesian coordinates have been derived for the four SLIP-based models and they have been presented in ready-to-use format. The input parameter space that produces the stable periodic gait has been identified and relevant gait parameters (step frequency, average speed, and dynamic load factor) have then been evaluated against the measured parameter space characterising the pedestrian population. The results indicate that the original SLIP model has multiple drawbacks. Adding roller feet was found to increase the estimates of average walking speed when compared with the SLIP model. Adding damping brings more substantial benefits of improved coverage of the step frequency and dynamic load factor parameter space. Dimensional analysis was found to be a useful means of modelling a new pedestrian having either a new body mass or leg length. In summary, the analysis suggests that inclusion of leg damping in the model is crucial for achieving realistic estimates of the step frequency and dynamic load factor, while modelling foot geometry brings improved estimates of the walking speed.
