Pedestrian movement intention identification model in mixed pedestrian-bicycle sections based on phase-field coupling theory

A Study of Pedestrian Movement on Crosswalks Based on Chaos Theory

Walking, as an important transportation mode, plays a large part in urban transportation systems. This mode is of great importance for planners and decision-makers because of its impact on environmental and health aspects of communities. However, this mode is so complex in nature that makes it difficult to study or model. On the other hand, chaos theory studies complex dynamical nonlinear syste...

A Data-Driven Model of Pedestrian Movement

We present a method for simulating individual pedestrian motion based on empirical data. Our model keeps track of the pedestrian’s position and body confi guration (pose) and uses motion capture data to produce plausible motion. While our ultimate goal is creating 3D animations of crowds, our initial efforts focus on 2D simulations. In this paper, we present a 2D model for an able-bodied male. ...

Model-Based Pedestrian Segmentation

The Problem: Many video-surveillance applications involve video data of humans in scenes. To accurately describe the location, action, and appearance of humans under video surveillance, we need to segment the people from the scene. We propose to use a model-based approach to segment humans from the scene. We are in particular interested in pedestrians from video data. A good segmentation will a...
