Comparison of pedestrian safety in old and new neighborhoods (A case study of Qazvin)

Sense of security is one of the basic human needs and the most influential social components of urban life. Perhaps it can be the most important factor in promoting or hindering walking in cities. In other words, if the neighborhoods of a city have a good level of security, the presents of pedestrians can be seen in local streets even in the late night hours. In this regard and to the answer to...

Modelling human perception processes in pedestrian dynamics: a hybrid approach

In this paper, we present a hybrid mathematical model describing crowd dynamics. More specifically, our approach is based on the well-established Helbing-like discrete model, where each pedestrian is individually represented as a dimensionless point and set to move in order to reach a target destination, with deviations deriving from both physical and social forces. In particular, physical forc...

An Agent-based Approach to Modelling Pedestrian Behaviour

The modelling of pedestrian behaviour in a real-world environment is a complex problem, mainly due to the unpredictable nature of human decision making. Agent-oriented simulation moves away from traditional all-knowing and "controlling" simulations and towards reality, where pedestrians exhibit different behaviours depending on their knowledge of the environment and other personal characteristi...
