Experiment and simulation of pedestrian counter $ow
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pedestrian counter $ow is investigated by experiment and simulation. The experiment is performed for the channel with open boundaries. Two types of walkers, going to the right and to the left, are taken into account. The video recordings and measurements of individual arrival times are evaluated. The pattern formation and jamming transition are discussed. The experiment is mimicked by the lattice gas simulation where each person is simulated by a biased random walker taking into account following the front persons with the same direction. The experimental result is compared with the simulation result. It is shown that the arrival time obtained from experiment is consistent with that of the simulation. Also, the jamming transition does not occur in the experiment because of the 2nite size e4ect. c © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 05.70.Fh; 89.40.+k; 05.90.+m

Social Groups and Pedestrian Crowds: Experiment on Dyads in a Counter Flow Scenario
The calibration and validation of pedestrian simulations require the acquisition of empirical evidences of human behaviour. The current work presents the results of an experiment focused on the potentially combined effect of counter flow and grouping on pedestrian dynamics. In particular, we focused on: (i) four different configurations of flow ratio (the rate between the minor flow and the tot...
متن کاملSimulation of Pedestrian Dynamics with Macroscopic and Microscopic Mathematical Models
Here, we collect two parts of a research project on the pedestrian flow modeling. Rapid growth in the volume of public transport and the need for its reasonable, efficient planning have made the description and modeling of transport and pedestrian behaviors as important research topics in the past twenty years. First, we present a macroscopic model for the pedestrian flow based on continuum mec...
متن کاملEvaluation of a "Smart" Pedestrian Counting System Based on Echo State Networks
We have designed an inexpensive intelligent pedestrian counting system. The pedestrian counting system consists of several counters that can be connected together in a distributed fashion and communicate over the wireless channel. The motion pattern is recorded using a set of passive infrared (PIR) sensors. Each counter has one wireless sensor node that processes the PIR sensor data and transmi...
متن کاملA microscopic simulation model for pedestrian-pedestrian and pedestrian-vehicle interactions at crosswalks
This study aims to develop a microscopic pedestrian behavior model considering various interactions on pedestrian dynamics at crosswalks. Particularly, we take into account the evasion behavior with counter-flow pedestrians, the following behavior with leader pedestrians, and the collision avoidance behavior with vehicles. Aerial video data at one intersection in Beijing, China are extracted fo...
متن کاملAn Assessment of the Impact of Pedestrian Refuge Islands on Vehicle Speed Changes and Pedestrian Safety: Case Study in Tehran
Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users. Speed of vehicles is considered as one of the major causes of danger for pedestrians crossing the street. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to devise suitable solutions to reduce speed of vehicles. One of these solutions is installation of Pedestrian Refuge Islands (PRI) in very wide midblocks. With regard to fluctuations in pedestrian a...
