Aversion of face-to-face situation of pedestrians eases crowding condition

Abstract
We conducted numerical simulation for a crowd of pedestrians. Each pedestrian, modeled with three circles, has a shape whose long axis is perpendicular to the anteroposterior axis, and is designed to move fixed destination. The pedestrians have friction at the surface and soft repulsion. In this study, we newly introduced an active rotation which captures psychological effect to evade face-to-face situation. The numerical simulation revealed that active rotation induces fluidization of system leading to higher flux of pedestrian. We further confirmed that this fluidization is due to fragmentation of force chain induced by the active rotation.
