Pedestrian falls resulting from slips or falls are one of the foremost causes of fatal and non-fatal injuries that limit people?s functionality. There have been prolonged efforts globally to identify and understand their main causes and reduce their frequency and severity. This book deals with large volumes of information on tribological characteristics such as friction and wear behaviours of the shoes and floors and their interactive impacts on slip resistance performances. Readers are introduced to theoretical concepts and models and collected evidence on slip resistance properties amongst a range of shoe and floor types and materials under various ambulatory settings. These approaches can be used to develop secure design strategies against fall incidents and provide a great step forward to build safer shoes, floors, and walking/working environments for industries and communities around the world. The book includes many case studies. 410 0$aPhysics and Astronomy Series 606 $aMeasurement 606 $aMeasuring instruments 606 $aAtoms 606 $aMetrology 606 $aTribology 606 $aBuilding materials 606 $aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation 606 $aMetrology and Fundamental Constants 606 $aTribology 606 $aWood, fabric, and textiles 615 0$aMeasurement. 615 0$aMeasuring instruments. 615 0$aAtoms. 615 0$aMetrology. 615 0$aTribology. 615 0$aBuilding materials. 615 14$aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation. 615 24$aMetrology and Fundamental Constants. 615 24$aTribology. 615 24$aWood, fabric, and textiles. 676 $a685.31 676 $a685.31 700 $aKim$b In-Ju$c(Writer on falls (Accidents)),$0981940 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910556886903321 996 $aEngineering Metrology for Pedestrian Falls Prevention and Protection$92819536 997 $aUNINA
