Space syntax research has found that spatial configuration alone explains a substantial
proportion of the variance between aggregate human movement rates in different locations …

Bill Hillier's space syntax method and theory enables us to describe the spatial properties of
a sustainable city. Empirical testing of the space syntax method over time has confirmed the …

This article surveys the state-of-the-art crowd simulation techniques and their selected
applications, with its focus on our recent research advances in this rapidly growing research …

Object tracking typically relies on a dynamic model to predict the object's location from its
past trajectory. In crowded scenarios a strong dynamic model is particularly important …

This study attempted to investigate the influence of social interactions on behavioral patterns
of the people in urban spaces. Accordingly, a combination of empirical axial line and …

We consider the problem of data association in a multi-person tracking context. In semi-
crowded environments, people are still discernible as individually moving entities, that …

We propose a discrete choice framework for pedestrian dynamics, modelling short term
behavior of individuals as a response to the presence of other pedestrians. We use a …

Research into the methods and techniques used in simulating crowds has developed
extensively within the last few years, particularly in the areas of video games and film …

We propose and validate a model for pedestrian walking behavior, based on discrete choice
modeling. Two main types of behavior are identified: unconstrained and constrained. By …

Under the influence of globalization, the centres of many cities in the industrialised world are
losing their place identity, the set of cultural markers that define a city's uniqueness and …
