Yang, X. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Dong, H. (author)Pedestrian dynamics has been being a popular research area. In this paper, breakdown probability in the bidirectional flow that includes pedestrians with heterogeneities is investigated. Reaction time appears to have the most pronounced breakdown proba- bility, followed by desired velocity and then body size. The relationship between the start...journal article 2014
