Structure of road networks and the shape of the macroscopic fundamental diagram
Erwan Taillanter, Andreas Schadschneider, Marc Barthelemy
The macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) is a large scale description of the traffic in a urban area and relates the average car flow to the average car density. This MFD has been…
Single-file pedestrian dynamics: a review of agent-following models
Jakob Cordes, Mohcine Chraibi, Antoine Tordeux +1
Single-file dynamics has been studied intensively, both experimentally and theoretically. It shows interesting collective effects, such as stop-and-go waves, which are validation c…
Social distancing and the future of pedestrian dynamics
Mohcine Chraibi, Andreas Schadschneider, Antoine Tordeux
Many countries have introduced social distancing rules during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to reduce spreading of the virus in public spaces. This has inspired research on pedest…
The Effect of Modern Traffic Information on Braess' Paradox
Stefan Bittihn, Andreas Schadschneider
Braess' paradox has been shown to appear rather generically in many systems of transport on networks. It is especially relevant for vehicular traffic where it shows that in certain…
Braess' paradox in the age of traffic information
Stefan Bittihn, Andreas Schadschneider
The Braess paradox describes the counterintuitive situation that the addition of new roads to road networks can lead to higher travel times for all network users. Recently we could…
Stop-and-go waves induced by correlated noise in pedestrian models without inertia
Antoine Tordeux, Andreas Schadschneider, Sylvain Lassarre
Stop-and-go waves are commonly observed in traffic and pedestrian flows. In most traffic models they occur through a phase transition after fine tuning of parameters when the model…
The trouble with 2nd order models or how to generate stop-and-go traffic in a 1st order model
Jakob Cordes, Andreas Schadschneider, Antoine Tordeux
Classical second order models of pedestrian dynamics, like the social-force model, suffer from various unrealistic behaviors in the dynamics, e.g. backward motion, oscillations and…
Braess paradox in a network with stochastic dynamics and fixed strategies
Stefan Bittihn, Andreas Schadschneider
The Braess paradox can be observed in road networks used by selfish users. It describes the counterintuitive situation in which adding a new, per se faster, origin-destination conn…
Noise-induced Stop-and-Go Dynamics
Antoine Tordeux, Andreas Schadschneider, Sylvain Lassarre
Stop-and-go waves are commonly observed in traffic and pedestrian flows. In traffic theory they are described by phase transitions of metastable models. The self-organization pheno…
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…
Empirical study on social groups in pedestrian evacuation dynamics
Cornelia von Krüchten, Andreas Schadschneider
Pedestrian crowds often include social groups, i.e. pedestrians that walk together because of social relationships. They show characteristic configurations and influence the dynami…
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…
Inflow process of pedestrians to a confined space
Takahiro Ezaki, Kazumichi Ohtsuka, Mohcine Chraibi +5
To better design safe and comfortable urban spaces, understanding the nature of human crowd movement is important. However, precise interactions among pedestrians are difficult to…
Evacuation dynamics of asymmetrically coupled pedestrian pairs
Frank Müller, Andreas Schadschneider
We propose and analyze extended floor field cellular automaton models for evacuation dynamics of inhomogeneous pedestrian pairs which are coupled by asymmetric group interactions.…
The Braess Paradox in a network of totally asymmetric exclusion processes
Stefan Bittihn, Andreas Schadschneider
We study the Braess paradox in the transport network as originally proposed by Braess with totally asymmetric exclusion processes (TASEPs) on the edges. The Braess paradox describe…
Empirical study of the influence of social groups in evacuation scenarios
Cornelia von Krüchten, Frank Müller, Anton Svachiy +2
The effects of social groups on pedestrian dynamics, especially in evacuation scenarios, have attracted some interest recently. However, due to the lack of reliable empirical data,…
Congestion Dynamics in Pedestrian Single-File Motion
Verena Ziemer, Armin Seyfried, Andreas Schadschneider
This article considers execution and analysis of laboratory experiments of pedestrians moving in a quasi-one-dimensional system with periodic boundary conditions. To analyze charac…
A force-based model to reproduce stop-and-go waves in pedestrian dynamics
Mohcine Chraibi, Antoine Tordeux, Andreas Schadschneider
Stop-and-go waves in single-file movement are a phenomenon that is ob- served empirically in pedestrian dynamics. It manifests itself by the co-existence of two phases: moving and…
Jamming transitions in force-based models for pedestrian dynamics
Mohcine Chraibi, Takahiro Ezaki, Antoine Tordeux +3
Force-based models describe pedestrian dynamics in analogy to classical mechanics by a system of second order ordinary differential equations. By investigating the linear stability…
Universal flow-density relation of single-file bicycle, pedestrian and car motion
Jun Zhang, Wolfgang Mehner, Stefan Holl +4
The relation between flow and density is an essential quantitative characteristic to describe the efficiency of traffic systems. We have performed experiments with single-file moti…
