The use of dynamic distance potential fields for pedestrian flow around corners

Abstract

This contribution investigates situations in pedestrian dynamics, where trying to walk the shortest path leads to largely different results than trying to walk the quickest path. A heuristic one-shot method to model the influence of the will to walk the quickest path is introduced.
