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…
Data-driven physics-based modeling of pedestrian dynamics
Caspar A. S. Pouw, Geert G. M. van der Vleuten, Alessandro Corbetta +1
Pedestrian crowds encompass a complex interplay of intentional movements aimed at reaching specific destinations, fluctuations due to personal and interpersonal variability, and in…
The Influence of Macroscopic Pedestrian Structures on Train Boarding Efficiency
Rabia I. Kodapanakkal, Caspar A. S. Pouw, Antal Haans +6
A deeper understanding of pedestrian dynamics is essential to improve crowd flows in public spaces such as train stations. It is essential to understand both the physical and the p…
High-statistics pedestrian dynamics on stairways and their probabilistic fundamental diagrams
Caspar A. S. Pouw, Alessandro Corbetta, Alessandro Gabbana +2
Staircases play an essential role in crowd dynamics, allowing pedestrians to flow across large multi-level public facilities such as transportation hubs, and office buildings. Achi…
Monitoring physical distancing for crowd management: real-time trajectory and group analysis
Caspar A. S. Pouw, Federico Toschi, Frank van Schadewijk +1
Physical distancing, as a measure to contain the spreading of Covid-19, is defining a "new normal". Unless belonging to a family, pedestrians in shared spaces are asked to observe…
