This research paper lays stress on philosophies of human desire. All the human being has some psychical need in addition to physical needs. And to satisfy the psychical needs, there is a need for stimulants, more in case of exclusive pedestrian precincts. Having exclusively Pedestrian precincts/Cores in city design draws its inspiration from the fact that public zones, accessible to majority of...

Modeling and simulation of pedestrian behavior is used in applications such as planning large buildings, disaster management, or urban planning. Realistically simulating pedestrian behavior is challenging, due to the complexity of individual behavior as well as the complexity of interactions of pedestrians with each other and with the environment. This work-in-progress paper addresses the tacti...

The work presented in this paper is a continuation of previous research done by author on the development of computational techniques that allow the investigation of pedestrian movement behaviour in the built environment. Specifically, the work has been initiated by introducing a pedestrian modelling approach, which simulates pedestrian movement behaviour and generates circulation diagrams in t...

Hillier and other researchers combined analysis of urban grids using axial maps with counts of pedestrian movements. They recognised the influence these grids played on pedestrian movements in cities and developed the ‘law of natural movement’ in which urban grids are principal generators of pedestrian movement and starting point for a city’s development into specialised ‘generative’ and ‘conse...

The empirical relation between density and velocity of pedestrian movement is not completely analyzed, particularly with regard to the ‘microscopic’ causes which determine the relation at medium and high densities. The simplest system for the investigation of this dependency is the normal movement of pedestrians along a line (single-file movement). This article presents experimental results for...

A stochastic cellular automata (CA) model for pedestrian dynamics is presented. Our goal is to simulate different types of pedestrian movement, from regular to panic. But here we emphasize regular situations which imply that pedestrians analyze environment and choose their route more carefully. And transition probabilities have to depict such effect. The potentials of floor fields and environme...

This work develops a pedestrian detection system using a feature space based on level lines, called Movement Feature Space (MFS). Besides detecting the movement in the scene, this feature space defines the descriptors used by the classifiers to identify pedestrians. Locations hypotheses of pedestrian are performed by a cascade of boosted classifiers. The validation of these regions of interest ...

In design and analysis, standard references assume the pedestrian flow as unidirectional. In reality however, pedestrian flow is usually bi-directional. The main question pursued in this paper is that whether the main characteristics of pedestrian flow the same under uni- and bi-directional conditions. In order to achieve this goal, effect of bi-directional stream is inv...

In indoor environment, pedestrian movement is known to cause significant effects on MIMO channels [2]. However, only a few measurement results concerning these effects have been reported in the literature. In this paper, time variation characteristics due to pedestrian movement are reported based on measured MIMO-OFDM channels at 5.2 GHz band with 40 MHz bandwidth. In particular, correlation of...
