Strategies of locomotor collision avoidance

Highlights ► We investigate the human strategies for collision avoidance during locomotion. ► The trajectories to avoid another human crossing the path are stereotyped. ► For perpendicular crossing, humans modulate speed, not direction. ► The strategy follows the maximum smoothness criterion locally...

Description
Summary:	Highlights ► We investigate the human strategies for collision avoidance during locomotion. ► The trajectories to avoid another human crossing the path are stereotyped. ► For perpendicular crossing, humans modulate speed, not direction. ► The strategy follows the maximum smoothness criterion locally but not globally. ► The collision avoidance strategy is therefore not globally optimal.
