abstract = {Campus security has aroused many concerns from the whole
society. Stampede is one of the most frequent and
influential accidents in campus. Studies on pedestrian
dynamics especially focusing on students are essential for
campus security, which are helpful to improve facility
design and emergency evacuation strategy. In this paper,
primary and middle school students were recruited to
participate in the single-file experiments. The microscopic
movement characteristics, including walking speed, headway,
gait characteristics (step length, step frequency and
swaying amplitude) and their relations were investigated.
Age and gender differences in the headway-speed diagram and
space requirements were analyzed by statistical tests. The
results indicated that the impacts of age and gender were
significant. There were three stages for the influence of
gender on the headway-speed diagram for both age groups. The
impacts on students’ space requirements were consistent
for different age and gender groups. But the impact of age
and gender on free-flow speed were affected by each other.
Due to the connection of walking speed and gait
characteristics, the comparisons of gait characteristics
between different ages and genders were performed to
understand the corresponding differences in speed more
deeply. The results showed that differences in step length
and swaying amplitude between males and females were
significant for both age groups. The effect of gender on
step frequency was significant for primary students. But for
middle school students, whether gender had significant
impact on step frequency was not clear here because of the
large P-value. Besides, the influence of age on gait
characteristics changed with gender.},
