Towards Affective Walkability for Healthy Ageing in the Future of the Cities

Social inclusion of elderly pedestrians in urban contexts by enhancing healthy mobility means increase the level of walkability, where the perception of safe walking and road crossing is a crucial factor. The measurement of stress during walking and dynamic collision avoidance through the acquisition and the analysis of physiological signals during experimental activity requires the design of proper experimental settings and protocols, in order to assess innovative approaches towards an affective walkability, and open novel investigation fields involving affective computing, pedestrian dynamics and artificial intelligence. The main aim of the paper is to illustrate some preliminary studies conducted within an experimental activity to test the validity of the approach.
