Simulation model of crossing pedestrian movements for infrastructure planning

Abstract: Infrastructure planning requires an extensive knowledge of potential pedestrian behavior, in particular at high crowd densities. The modelling and simulation of pedestrian movements is an important tool in the planning and operation of airports, railway stations, sports stadiums, shopping malls, and other public places. For example, in shopping malls, optimal models are needed to guide pedestrians on predefined itineraries. Evacuation scenarios, where all individuals move toward the same escape point, can be interpreted as single destination problems. These have been studied quite intensively. Multidestination problems, where distinct streams of pedestrians move from one or more starting points to multiple destinations, need more investigation. In particular, the crossing of pedestrian streams has not yet been thoroughly investigated.
