Propagation of controlled frontward impulses through standing crowds

Sina Feldmann, Juliane Adrian, Maik Boltes

Impulse propagation in crowds is a phenomenon that is crucial for understanding collective dynamics, but has been scarcely addressed so far. Therefore, we have carried out experime…

Together apart: the influence of increased crowd heterogeneity on crowd dynamics at bottlenecks

Paul Geoerg, Ann Katrin Boomers, Maxine Berthiaume +2

Individual differences in mobility (e.g., due to wheelchair use) are often ignored in the prediction of crowd movement. Consequently, engineering tools cannot fully describe the im…

Exploring Perceived Vulnerability of Pedestrians: Insights from a Forced-Choice Experiment

Paul Geoerg, Ann Katrin Boomers, Maxine Berthiaume +2

Individual differences in mobility (e.g., due to wheelchair use) during crowd movement are not well understood. Perceived vulnerability of neighbors in a crowd could affect, for ex…

Pedestrian Crowd Management Experiments: A Data Guidance Paper

Ann Katrin Boomers, Maik Boltes, Juliane Adrian +20

Understanding pedestrian dynamics and the interaction of pedestrians with their environment is crucial to the safe and comfortable design of pedestrian facilities. Experiments offe…

Influence of Gender Composition in Pedestrian Single-File Experiments

Sarah Paetzke, Maik Boltes, Armin Seyfried

Various studies address the question of what factors are relevant to the course of the fundamental diagram in single-file experiments. Some indicate that there are differences due…

Influence of individual factors on fundamental diagrams of pedestrians

Sarah Paetzke, Maik Boltes, Armin Seyfried

In recent years, numerous studies have been published dealing with the effect of individual characteristics of pedestrians on the fundamental diagram. These studies compared cumula…
