A Review on Macroscopic Pedestrian Flow Modelling

Anna Kormanová

Acta Informatica Pragensia, 2013, vol. 2013, issue 2, 39-50

Abstract: This paper reviews several various approaches to macroscopic pedestrian modelling. It describes hydrodynamic models based on similarity of pedestrian flow with fluids and gases; first-order flow models that use fundamental diagrams and conservation equation; and a model similar to LWR vehicular traffic model, which allows non-classical shocks. At the end of the paper there is stated a comparison of described models, intended to find appropriate macroscopic model to eventually be a part of a hybrid model. The future work of the author is outlined.
