The Social Force Model and its Relation to the Kladek Formula
arXiv:1512.01426
Abstract
It was recently found that the Social Force Model of pedestrian dynamics in a macroscopic limit for 1d movement does not reproduce the empirically found inflection point of the speed-density relation. It could be shown that, however, a simple and intuitively comprehensible extension of the Social Force Model shows the inflection point. Motivated by this observation in this contribution the relation of the Social Force Model with the Kladek formula for the speed-density relation of urban motorized traffic is discussed. Furthermore the models are compared to results data from experiments on vehicular, cycling, and pedestrian dynamics.
