Continuous and first-order jamming transition in crossing pedestrian traffic flows

Statistical Mechanics 2017-09-20 v1

Abstract

After reviewing the main results obtained within a model for the intersection of two perpendicular flows of pedestrians, we present a new finding: the changeover of the jamming transition from continuous to first order when the size of the intersection area increases.
