Walkability assessment is a quantitative approach to investigate accessibility and confidence in the urban environment for the older people. Physiological responses could be effectively adopted to reveal in particular safety perception while walking in different outdoor scenarios and the definition of a proper experimental protocol is a mandatory step to collect useful data. This paper presents two different experimental protocols for acquisition in outdoor real urban scenarios involving senior citizens. The two experiments face different aspects of walkability in cities, considering both road crossing in stressful conditions, and long walks in urban pathways and parks.

Abstract
Walkability assessment is a quantitative approach to investigate accessibility and confidence in the urban environment for the older people. Physiological responses could be effectively adopted to reveal in particular safety perception while walking in different outdoor scenarios and the definition of a proper experimental protocol is a mandatory step to collect useful data. This paper presents two different experimental protocols for acquisition in outdoor real urban scenarios involving senior citizens. The two experiments face different aspects of walkability in cities, considering both road crossing in stressful conditions, and long walks in urban pathways and parks.
