Abstract
To what extent can we model the movements of pedestrians who walk across a large-scale event terrain? This dissertation answers this question by analysing the operational movement dynamics of pedestrians in crowds at several large music and sport events in the Netherlands and extracting the key crowd movement phenomena. A conceptual model and an assessment framework for pedestrian simulation models are developed specifically to describe and simulate this type of movement dynamics.
