| Abstract;The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and comfort of a speed-variable moving lane newly developed. The velocity influenced to user's feeling and performance. From the result of experiment, an appropriate speeds is considered to be about 2.1 kilometers per hour at an entrance of the lane and about 3.8 kilometers per hour in the middle part with higher speed. Also, for some users whose posture control was unstable due to wheelchair, baby carriage and highheeled shoes, the appropriate speed appeared to be less. The ways to avoid contacts and collisions among users at an exit were evaluated in several experiments. Several suggestions are described to feel comfortable when using a speed-variable moving lane.
