Conflict Avoidance in Pedestrian Merging in Controlled Experiments by Variance Indicator

Jiawei Zhang, Xiaolu Jia, Sakurako Tanida +3

Pedestrian congestion at corridor intersections often originates from localized fluctuations in motion rather than from a macroscopic collapse of flow. Understanding pedestrian ins…

Effect of vehicle groups on heterogeneous disordered traffic flow

Akihito Nagahama, Nichika Asai, Claudio Feliciani +2

In heterogeneous disordered traffic, where various vehicle types operate without strict lane discipline, self-organized vehicle groups often emerge, but their influence remains unc…

Fundamental elements in the development of effective crowd control strategies

Claudio Feliciani, Daichi Yanagisawa, Katsuhiro Nishinari

In this work, we present typical challenges encountered when developing methods for controlling crowds of people (or animal swarms). We discuss which elements shall be considered a…

How crowd accidents are reported in the news media: Lexical and sentiment analysis

Claudio Feliciani, Alessandro Corbetta, Milad Haghani +1

The portrayal of crowd accidents by the media can influence public understanding and emotional response, shaping societal perceptions and potentially impacting safety measures and…

Social aspects of collision avoidance: A detailed analysis of two-person groups and individual pedestrians

Adrien Gregorj, Zeynep Yücel, Francesco Zanlungo +2

Pedestrian groups are commonly found in crowds but research on their social aspects is comparatively lacking. To fill that void in literature, we study the dynamics of collision av…

Analysis and modelling of macroscopic and microscopic dynamics of a pedestrian cross-flow

Francesco Zanlungo, Claudio Feliciani, Zeynep Yücel +2

In this work we investigate the behaviour of a human crowd in a cross-flow. We first analyse the results of a set of controlled experiments in which subjects were divided into two…

Some considerations on crowd Congestion Level

Francesco Zanlungo, Claudio Feliciani, Zeynep Yucel +2

The concept of (crowd) Congestion Level () was introduced in Feliciani et al (Transportation Research, 2018) and presented at the PED 2018 conference by C. Feliciani. Following…

Experimental study on the evading behavior of individual pedestrians when confronting with an obstacle in a corridor

Xiaolu Jia, Claudio Feliciani, Daichi Yanagisawa +1

In this paper, controlled experiments have been conducted to make deep analysis on the obstacle evading behavior of individual pedestrians affected by one obstacle. Results of Four…

Body-rotation behavior of pedestrians for collision avoidance in passing and cross flow

Hiroki Yamamoto, Daichi Yanagisawa, Claudio Feliciani +1

We observe body-rotation behavior of pedestrians to avoid others when they are moving in congested situations. In such cases, body orientation often differs from walking direction,…

Micro and Macro Pedestrian Dynamics in Counterflow: the Impact of Social Groups

Luca Crociani, Andrea Gorrini, Claudio Feliciani +3

Although it is widely recognised that the presence of groups influences microscopic and aggregated pedestrian dynamics, a precise characterisation of the phenomenon still calls for…

Social Groups and Pedestrian Crowds: Experiment on Dyads in a Counter Flow Scenario

Andrea Gorrini, Luca Crociani, Claudio Feliciani +3

The calibration and validation of pedestrian simulations require the acquisition of empirical evidences of human behaviour. The current work presents the results of an experiment f…

Pedestrians rotation measurement in bidirectional streams

Claudio Feliciani, Katsuhiro Nishinari

This study presents an experimental measurement of pedestrians' body rotation in bidirectional streams. A mock-up corridor monitored using a camera placed on azimuthal position is…
