Experiment and simulation of pedestrian counter flow
TL;DR: In this paper, two types of walkers, going to the right and to the left, are taken into account, and the video recordings and measurements of individual arrival times are evaluated.

Abstract: Pedestrian counter flow is investigated by experiment and simulation. The experiment is performed for the channel with open boundaries. Two types of walkers, going to the right and to the left, are taken into account. The video recordings and measurements of individual arrival times are evaluated. The pattern formation and jamming transition are discussed. The experiment is mimicked by the lattice gas simulation where each person is simulated by a biased random walker taking into account following the front persons with the same direction. The experimental result is compared with the simulation result. It is shown that the arrival time obtained from experiment is consistent with that of the simulation. Also, the jamming transition does not occur in the experiment because of the finite size effect.

Simulation of bi-direction pedestrian movement in corridor
TL;DR: A special technique is introduced considering human behavior to make the rules more reasonable in pedestrian movement by simulating the two-dimension pedestrian movement in corridor, and the phase transition phenomena of pedestrian movement, including the walkers moving bottom-up and top-down are presented.

Experiment and multi-grid modeling of evacuation from a classroom
Jun Zhang,Weiguo Song,Xuan Xu +2 more
TL;DR: The multi-grid model is improved by considering the pre-movement time of each pedestrian, adopting variable velocity and using a new update procedure to simulate the evacuation process and compare the simulation results with the experimental results, and find that they agree with each other closely.

Social Force Model for Pedestrian Dynamics
Dirk Helbing,Péter Molnár +1 more
TL;DR: Computer simulations of crowds of interacting pedestrians show that the social force model is capable of describing the self-organization of several observed collective effects of pedestrian behavior very realistically.

Simulating dynamical features of escape panic
TL;DR: A model of pedestrian behaviour is used to investigate the mechanisms of panic and jamming by uncoordinated motion in crowds, and an optimal strategy for escape from a smoke-filled room is found, involving a mixture of individualistic behaviour and collective ‘herding’ instinct.
