Recently, the CPGs framework has been utillized to develop locomotion controllers for autonomous walking robots. Therefore, in this paper, dynamic response analyses taking into account the neural-oscillator-model proposed by Matsuoka are carried out for the pedestrian bridge model. It was confirmed from numerical simulations that the proposed method based on the neural-oscillator model might be one of useful ways to consider the synchronized oscillations on the pedestrian bridges
