Modelling vehicle and pedestrian collective dynamics: Challenges and advances
Antoine Tordeux, Cécile Appert-Rolland, Alexandre Nicolas +2
In our urbanised societies, the management and regulation of traffic and pedestrian flows is of considerable interest for public safety, economic development, and the conservation…
Identification of social groups and waiting pedestrians at railway platforms using trajectory data
Mira Küpper, Armin Seyfried
To investigate the impact of social groups on waiting behaviour of passengers at railway platforms a method to identify social groups through the monitoring of distances between pe…
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…
Inside a Life-Threatening Crowd: Analysis of the Love Parade Disaster from the Perspective of Eyewitnesses
Anna Sieben, Armin Seyfried
During the Love Parade disaster in 2011 in Duisburg, Germany, twenty one visitors were killed and more than five hundred injured in a very dense crowd on the route to and from the…
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…
Anticipation in a velocity-based model for pedestrian dynamics
Qiancheng Xu, Mohcine Chraibi, Armin Seyfried
Lane formation in bidirectional pedestrian streams is based on a stimulus-response mechanism and strategies of navigation in a fast-changing environment. Although microscopic model…

Qiancheng Xu, Mohcine Chraibi, Armin Seyfried
This article studies clogging phenomena using a velocity-based model for pedestrian dynamics. First, a method to identify prolonged clogs in simulations was introduced. Then bottle…
Crowds in front of bottlenecks at entrances from the perspective of physics and social psychology
Juliane Adrian, Armin Seyfried, Anna Sieben
This article presents an interdisciplinary study of physical and social psychological effects on crowd dynamics based on a series of bottleneck experiments. Bottlenecks are of part…
Crowding and Queuing in Entrance Scenarios: Influence of Corridor Width in Front of Bottlenecks
Juliane Adrian, Maik Boltes, Stefan Holl +2
In this paper, we present results of an entrance experiment investigating the effect of the corridor width in front of a bottleneck on the density. The idea is based on a previous…
Prediction of Pedestrian Speed with Artificial Neural Networks
Antoine Tordeux, Mohcine Chraibi, Armin Seyfried +1
Pedestrian behaviours tend to depend on the type of facility. Therefore accurate predictions of pedestrians movements in complex geometries (including corridor, bottleneck or inter…
Collective phenomena in crowds - where pedestrian dynamics need social psychology
Anna Sieben, Jette Schumann, Armin Seyfried
This article is on collective phenomena in pedestrian dynamics during the assembling and dispersal phases of gatherings. To date pedestrian dynamics have been primarily studied in…
Influence of the number of predecessors in interaction within acceleration-based flow models
Antoine Tordeux, Mohcine Chraibi, Andreas Schadschneider +1
In this paper, the stability of the uniform solutions is analysed for microscopic flow models in interaction with predecessors. We calculate general conditions for the line…
