- Complex influence of bridge vibration on the pedestrians is extremely difficult to quantify, in part due to lack of suitable experimental facilities. This paper is a key output from a First Grant award by EPSRC (£90k, EP/I03839X/1) that, for the first time, developed an experimental methodology to establish how vibrations affect pedestrian's kinematics and kinetics, and end-user acceptability of the structure. The collected data form the first open access database (http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/79038/) on the pedestrian-structure interaction. The findings informed the follow-up grant by EPSRC (£721k, EP/M021505/1) and were part of supporting case for developing the strategic £3.25M VSimulators facility (EP/P020690/1).
