Exploring Crossing Times and Congestion Patterns at Scramble Intersections in Pedestrian Dynamics Models: A Statistical Analysis
Abstract
Scramble intersections stand as compelling examples of complex systems, shedding light on the pressing challenge of urban mobility. In this paper, we introduce a model aimed at unraveling the statistical intricacies of pedestrian crossing times and their fluctuations in scenarios commonly encountered in major urban centers. Our findings offer snapshots that faithfully mirror real-world situations. Significantly, our results underscore the importance of two key factors: pedestrian flexibility and population density. These factors play a pivotal role in triggering the transition between mobile and immobile behavior in the steady state, a concept expounded upon within this paper through a straightforward order parameter known as directed mobility.
