Pedestrian Flow at Bottlenecks - Validation and Calibration of Vissim's Social Force Model of Pedestrian Traffic and its Empirical Foundations
Tobias Kretz, Stefan Hengst, Peter Vortisch
In this contribution first results of experiments on pedestrian flow through bottlenecks are presented and then compared to simulation results obtained with the Social Force Model…
Counterflow Extension for the F.A.S.T.-Model
Tobias Kretz, Maike Kaufman, Michael Schreckenberg
The F.A.S.T. (Floor field and Agent based Simulation Tool) model is a microscopic model of pedestrian dynamics, which is discrete in space and time. It was developed in a number of…
Comparison of Various Methods for the Calculation of the Distance Potential Field
Tobias Kretz, Cornelia Bönisch, Peter Vortisch
The distance from a given position toward one or more destinations, exits, and way points is a more or less important input variable in most models of pedestrian dynamics. Except f…
The F.A.S.T.-Model
Tobias Kretz, Michael Schreckenberg
A discrete model of pedestrian motion is presented that is implemented in the Floor field- and Agentbased Simulation Tool (F.A.S.T.) which has already been applicated to a variety…
Moore and more and symmetry
Tobias Kretz, Michael Schreckenberg
In any spatially discrete model of pedestrian motion which uses a regular lattice as basis, there is the question of how the symmetry between the different directions of motion can…
