This extensive review was written for the``Encyclopedia of Complexity and System
Science''(Springer, 2008) and addresses a broad audience ranging from engineers to …

Multimodal transportation hubs serve as transfer points with the function of collecting,
transferring, and distributing passengers and play a significant role in the entire multimodal …

Crowd evacuation of a building has been studied over the last decades. In this paper, seven
methodological approaches for crowd evacuation have been identified. These approaches …

Pedestrian evacuation simulation (PES) provides a low-cost and low-risk method to facilitate
safety design and emergency management in indoor environment by describing pedestrian …

The congregation of crowd undoubtedly constitutes an important risk factor, which may
endanger the safety of the gathered people. The solution reported against this significant …

Here, we report on a new approach for adaptive path finding in microscopic simulations of
pedestrian dynamics. The approach extends a widely used concept based on scalar …

In recent years and decades the development of ever more powerful computer hardware
has been accompanied by the evolution of simulational or computer physics as a third …

Based on the cellular automata method (CA model) and the mobile lattice gas model (MLG
model), we have developed a heterogeneous lattice gas model for simulating pedestrian …

The distance from a given position toward one or more destinations, exits, and way points is
an important input variable in most models of pedestrian dynamics. Except for special cases …

This paper describes the development of a pedestrian microsimulation model that was
developed based on the agent based modeling approach, which effectively accounts for the …
