Many observations of pedestrian dynamics, including various self-organization phenomena, have been reproduced successfully by different models. But the empirical databases for quantitative calibration are still insufficient, e.g. the…
As we walk towards our destinations, our trajectories are constantly influenced by the presence of obstacles and infrastructural elements: even in absence of crowding our paths are often curved. Over the last two decades pedestrian dynamics…

The NaSch model is a classical one-dimensional cellular automata (CA) model of freeway traffic. However, it is not suitable for simulating pedestrian dynamics due to the kinetic difference between vehicles and pedestrians. Based on NaSch…

In this paper we study a kinetic model for pedestrians, who are assumed to adapt their motion towards a desired direction while avoiding collisions with others by stepping aside. These minimal microscopic interaction rules lead to complex…
Real-life, out-of-laboratory, measurements of pedestrian movements allow extensive and fully-resolved statistical analyses. However, data acquisition in real-life is subjected to the wide heterogeneity that characterizes crowd flows over…
