The invention relates to an immersive
pedestrian traffic behavior experiment platform and method based on a
virtual reality technology. The platform is composed of a scene construction module, head-mounted VR glasses, a universal walking pad, a 3D camera device, an
action recognition module, a control module, a data collection and export module and a physiological data sensor. The invention also provides a
pedestrian traffic behavior experiment method based on the
virtual reality technology, and the method comprises the steps: 1, experiment scene construction: selecting a reconstruction mode based on a real scene or directly employing a
simulation software compiling mode for the construction of the experiment scene according to the experiment requirements; 2, parameter setting: according to experiment requirements, event
insertion and related parameter setting are carried out on an experiment scene; 3, equipment connection and test: operating
control software to complete port test andconnection test, and establishing connection for control programs of different equipment; 4, formal experiment and
data acquisition. Compared with the prior art, the platform and the method have the advantages of fitting the actual situation, being high in experiment environment authenticity and the like.
