The promotion of space sharing in order to raise the quality of community living and safety of
street surroundings is increasingly accepted feature of modern urban design. In this context …

Social scientists have criticised computer models of pedestrian streams for their treatment of
psychological crowds as mere aggregations of individuals. Indeed most models for …

Purpose A crowd of pedestrians is a complex system in which individuals exhibit conflicting
behavioural mechanisms leading to self-organisation phenomena. Computer models for the …

Pedestrians adjust both speed and stride length when they navigate difficult situations such
as tight corners or dense crowds. They try to avoid collisions and to preserve their personal …

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 …

When a large group of pedestrians moves around a corner, most pedestrians do not follow
the shortest path, which is to stay as close as possible to the inner wall, but try to minimize …

Studies related to crowds of pedestrians, both those of theoretical nature and application
oriented ones, have generally focused on either the analysis or the synthesis of the …

This contribution proposes a method to make agents in a microscopic simulation of
pedestrian traffic walk approximately along a path of estimated minimal remaining travel …

The aim of this paper is to develop an integrated electronic system that allows the dynamical
management of congestion and provides the fast evaluation of dynamical circumstances …

This paper proposes a perceived potential field and an aggregated force field for navigation
of pedestrians in a walking domain with poor visibility or complex geometries. While the …
