respective stepping phases. This self-organization phenomenon is known as …

[HTML][HTML] Modelling social identification and helping in evacuation simulation

I von Sivers, A Templeton, F Künzner, G Köster, J Drury… - Safety science, 2016 - Elsevier
Social scientists have criticised computer models of pedestrian streams for their treatment of
psychological crowds as mere aggregations of individuals. Indeed most models for …

A pedestrian flow model considering the impact of local density: Voronoi diagram based heuristics approach

Y Xiao, Z Gao, Y Qu, X Li - Transportation research part C: emerging …, 2016 - Elsevier
Local density, which is an indicator for comfortable moving of a pedestrian, is rarely
considered in traditional force based and heuristics based pedestrian flow models …

Pedestrian single file movement on stairway: Investigating the impact of stair configuration on pedestrian ascent and descent fundamental diagram

J Wang, J Ma, P Lin, M Sarvi, R Li - Safety science, 2021 - Elsevier
Due to the individuals' interactions with the physical environment, pedestrian walking on
various stair-facilities may present different features. Performing controlled pedestrian …
