In railway stations and other major complexes (such as air terminals, buildings and sports
centers), congestion associated with concentrated pedestrian movements is a common …

Although considerable work has been undertaken in the past to establish the principles of
pedestrian flow, it has been the personal computer and the hand-held data logger than have …

The assessment of station designs by applying pedestrian flow simulation models is
addressed. In particular, station design issues pertain to the way access gates will affect …

With the predicted double in number of train passengers in the" bassin lémanique" over the
next 20 years, pedestrian demand in train stations is going to increase significantly …

Discomfort, frustration and concerns for safety of pedestrians increase with the increase of
congestion level within underground/railway stations. Pedestrian walking behavior is of …

Abstract In 1989 London Underground Limited (LUL) initiated a major review of congestion
problems at Underground Stations. A key element in the methodology developed to carry …

At underground or railway station complexes there are generally alternative routes which
passengers can use when faced with congestion at escalators, stair-cases, etc. When …

The present paper outlines different approaches to pedestrian modelling, classifying them
according to their movement and collision avoidance algorithms. An interesting question, not …

Road traffic modelling and simulation is currently, well provided with a variety of packages
dealing with the minute detail of road layouts from single isolated junction models to …
