Passing in a narrow corridor: Modelling body rotation by ellipse

  We conducted a simple experiment where two pedestrians passed each other in a narrow corridor.Their body rotational angles during passing were measured by utilizing the gyro sensors in the tablets.We saw no body rotation when the width of a corridor was larger than the critical width (≈100cm), whereas the rotation was observed below the critical width.This phenomenon is explained well by our geometric model, where pedestrians are not represented by circles but ellipses.Thus, our result implies necessity and justification of representing pedestrians by ellipse when we consider body rotation of pedestrians in a narrow corridor or a high-density condition.
