Abstract: Abstract Recent development in pedestrian modelling has seen vehicle based micro-simulation interacting with pedestrian models to allow the simulation of a greater variety of urban spaces. This provides a more holistic picture of how junctions and streets function from a multi-modal perspective that incorporates the effect that vehicular movement has on pedestrians and vice versa by quantifying simulation results in a measurable way. These models are still in their infancy and require further functionality and research to improve the quality of output and ease of modelling. This paper develops a pedestrian gap-acceptance based algorithm for modelling a variety of opportunistic pedestrian behaviours.
