Modelling and Parameterizing Pedestrian Behaviour in Public Places: A Review

Pedestrian injuries due to mobile phone use in public places.

Research shows that pedestrians, similar to drivers, experience reduced situation awareness, distracted attention and unsafe behavior when talking or texting on their mobile phones. The present study centered on injuries related to mobile phone use among pedestrians. It used data from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission on injuries in hospital emergency rooms from 2004 through 2010. It fo...

Spatial and Probabilistic Modelling of Pedestrian Behaviour

This paper investigates the combination of spatial and probabilistic models for reasoning about pedestrian behaviour in visual surveillance systems. Models are learnt by a multi-step unsupervised method and they are used for trajectory labelling and atypical behaviour detection.

Modelling pedestrian behaviour under emergency conditions

Movement of people forms an important component of a multi-modal transportation system. Promoting walking is an important part of the shift to more sustainable transport (OECD, 2002; Cotter and Hannan, 1999). Thus the planning and designing of amenities for efficient, comfortable and safe walking operations of pedestrian’s movements in public places such as multimodal points, shopping malls, st...
