Towards modelling abreast to in-file transitions in small pedestrian groups

Alessandro Corbetta, Chiel van der Laan, Francesco Zanlungo

Pedestrians in a crowd largely walk in small groups, dyads above all, and modelling how these groups arrange themselves is a step towards realistic models of the crowd as a whole.…

Adjusting for Social Groups in Spatial Point Process Models for Waiting Pedestrian Configurations

Lars Sickert Karam, Rui M. Castro, Maarten Schoukens +1

The spatial distribution of waiting pedestrians has two primary drivers: environmental preference and interaction with other pedestrians. Spatial point processes naturally capture…

Modeling inhomogeneous spatial point configurations with applications to replicated patterns in real-life waiting crowds

Lars Sickert Karam, Rui M. Castro, Maarten Schoukens +1

In this article, we connect statistical inference for spatial point processes with the analysis of waiting pedestrian crowds through two interconnected contributions. First, on the…

The multi-fractal nature of pedestrian arrival times

Caspar A. S. Pouw, Alessandro Corbetta, Alessandro Gabbana +1

Pedestrian arrival times exhibit complex temporal organization across multiple scales, shaped by working hours, transportation schedules, and collective behaviors - features often…

Probabilistic dynamics of small groups in crowd flows

Chiel van der Laan, Alessandro Corbetta

Pedestrians in crowds frequently move as part of small groups, constituting up to 70% of individuals. Dyads (groups of two) are most frequent. Understanding quantitatively the dyna…

Understanding complex crowd dynamics with generative neural simulators

Koen Minartz, Fleur Hendriks, Simon Martinus Koop +2

Understanding the dynamics of pedestrian crowds is an outstanding challenge crucial for designing efficient urban infrastructure and ensuring safe crowd management. To this end, bo…
