A macroscopic loading model applicable to time-dependent and congested pedestrian flows
in public walking areas is proposed. Building on the continuum theory of pedestrian flows …

Human behaviour while trying to escape a room via its main means of egress is an important
issue in social science, complex systems research, and architectural planning. Disasters …

A mesoscopic pedestrian model is proposed, considering pedestrians as individuals and
describing their movement by means of aggregate density-flow relationships. The model …

Abstract The Hajj is an Islamic pilgrimage that involves four main holy sites in Makkah, Saudi
Arabia. As the number of participants (pilgrims) attending these events has been increasing …

A macroscopic loading model for multi-directional, time-varying and congested pedestrian
flows is proposed. Walkable space is represented by a network of streams that are each …

This paper presents a hybrid simulation-assignment modeling framework for studying crowd
dynamics in large-scale pedestrian facilities. The proposed modeling framework judiciously …

A pedestrian's visual field constantly changes as they move around a room containing
structural components or large furniture, which can block the pedestrian from perceiving …

The goal of this paper is to study different algorithms for planning a large scale pedestrian
evacuation process. A pedestrian (walking) mode of evacuation is an efficient mode of …

Macroscopic pedestrian models are theoretically simpler than microscopic models, and they
can potentially be solved faster while producing reasonable predictions of crowd dynamics …

Exploiting the full potential of pedestrian infrastructure is becoming critical in many
environments which cannot be easily expanded to cope with the increasing pedestrian …
