Specification of the social force pedestrian model by evolutionary adjustment to video tracking data

Physics and Society 2008-10-28 v1 Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability

Abstract

Based on suitable video recordings of interactive pedestrian motion and improved tracking software, we apply an evolutionary optimization algorithm to determine optimal parameter specifications for the social force model. The calibrated model is then used for large-scale pedestrian simulations of evacuation scenarios, pilgrimage, and urban environments.
