Human Dynamics Laboratory (LDH in Spanish)
The objective of the Human Dynamics Laboratory (LDH in Spanish) is to provideguidelines for the design of public transport vehicles, the design of bus / metrostations, and the management of passengers in public transport systems. It consistsof a real-scale model of a public transport vehicle and its adjacent platform. Videocameras and image processing are used to study passenger behaviour. Thisinstallation is one of a kind in Chile and one of the few that exists in the world. TheLDH is open for own research with thesis students of our faculty as well as to behired by government agencies, transport operators and engineering consulting.
