Pedestrian Dynamics at Transit Stations: An Integrated Pedestrian Flow Modelling Approach

The objective of this chapter is to explore an integrated modelling framework that captures pedestrian walking behaviour in congested and uncongested conditions and covers different traffic dynamics caused by complex geometric and operational characteristics such as those observed in transit stations. The integrated modelling framework is built...

Pedestrian dynamics at transit stations: an integrated pedestrian flow modeling approach

This paper presents an integrated modelling framework to capture pedestrian walking behaviour in congested and uncongested conditions. The framework is built using a combination of concepts from the Social Force model (basic one-to-one interaction), behavioural heuristics (physiological and cognitive constraints), and materials science (multi...

Behavioral-Based Pedestrian Modeling Approach: Formulation, Sensitivity Analysis, and Calibration

Pedestrians are among the travelers most vulnerable to collisions that are associated with high fatality and injury rates. The increasing rate of urbanization and mixed land-use construction make walking (along with other non-motorized travel) a predominant transportation mode with a wide variety of behaviors expected. Because of the inherent...
