A Spatial Deconstruction Behavioural Model for Pedestrian Dynamics

Physics and Society 2022-04-27 v1

Abstract

How to reproduce realistic motion in simulations has always been a fundamental problem for pedestrian dynamics, and a critical challenge for current studies is the natural correlation of the movement choices and the human behaviours. To advance the study, we deconstruct the two-dimensional space of pedestrian crowds with a behavioural motion network on basis of Voronoi diagram and Delaunay diagram, and accordingly formulate a behavioural model considering both the long-term route choice and the real-time velocity choice. The comparisons between simulation results and real-world movements suggest that the behavioural model can not only deal with traditional scenarios but also be capable of describing well-agreed movements in challenging conflicting situations. The spatial deconstruction idea provides a geometric perspective to recognize and reproduce the pedestrian behaviours, and it can further benefit the understanding and realization of pedestrian dynamics and even robot navigation.
