Article Synopsis
- This study introduces a new virtual inverted pendulum model for estimating human walking speed using wearable accelerometers.
- The model combines features from both biped and inverted pendulum models to allow effective speed estimation based on body acceleration, requiring only a single tri-axial accelerometer worn on the waist.
- Experimental findings demonstrate high accuracy, with a mean absolute error of 0.58% and a deviation of 0.72%, outperforming previous studies that placed accelerometers on the upper body.
