The object of the present study is to analyze the postural balance of an individual when subjected to effects of acceleration and deceleration in the antero-posterior direction, submitted to a system that simulates the mass transportation. The proposed system consists of a platform, with movement in the antero-posterior direction, with two speeds, and a range of motion about 30 mm, being driven by a DC motor. During the platform movement, the vertical reaction forces were recorded using a force platform, connected to a data acquisition system. An accelerometer installed on the platform to records the accelerations of the two speeds (0.6 and 2.0 g). The data collections were made using 12 individuals, male, young, with range of age between 19 and 27 years. Each person was submitted to two different accelerations, one normal and the other considered the threshold for public transportation. Imbalances in bipedal stance, were evaluated through the distribution of loads between the heel and toes. The results showed that: In the first stance of the platform, the imbalances of individuals were more pronounced, and the difference between the two speeds is around 50% on average for the forces of reaction. And after a while, people were able to regain the original balance. When the platform sudden stops, a new imbalance happens, but in this case the differences are of the order of 5%, between the reaction force regardless of speed
