Vision-based methodology for characterizing the load of a high-density crowd KU Leuven
The vibration serviceability assessment of footbridges exposed to high density crowds is often imperative for the design. Due to the lack of representative operational loading data, current models for crowdinduced loading remain unvalidated. This absence can partly be ascribed to the fact that practically no method exists to directly register the induced loads of a crowd. A promising alternative to obtain the crowd-induced forces indirectly is ...
