Abstract
Biomechanical Analysis of Concealed Pack Load Influences on Terrorist Gait Signatures derived from Grobner Basis Theory
Highlights
Suicide bombings have become an increasing threat to civilians and military personnel in Middle Eastern countries
Kinematic and kinetic parameters were determined for each anatomical joint at each time increment throughout the single stance phase of gait
The presented work provides a unique perspective on forensic gait biomechanics by investigating the influence of hidden pack weights on human motion
Summary
Suicide bombings have become an increasing threat to civilians and military personnel in Middle Eastern countries. An online database has documented the reported deaths of Iraqi civilians from the first day of the Iraq War [2]. As of December 17, 2012 an average of 7.5 civilians have died each day due to ‘terror attacks’ in Iraq, demonstrating threat to civilian and military personnel. To address this threat, biometrics such as fingerprint, face, iris, and gait data have been used successfully to identify suspicious individuals [3,4,5,6]. The goal in the present work is to measure and identify human gait characteristics within a controlled laboratory setting that may be used as a possible ‘gait signature’ for an individual carrying a concealed detonation device having recognizable weight
