Abstract :
To prevent slips, a comprehensive model for the prediction of slip would be useful. Such model must consider both qualitative and quantitative factors. Here, the author explores factors which can have a significant influence on pedestrian/walkway friction and, therefore, on slip probability. These factors will, in pt. II of this paper, be used as inputs to a set of ratiometrically-derived, dimensionless parameters which will characterize the friction-related component of a comprehensive slip-prediction model
