Abstract: Abstract A two dimensional optimal velocity model was proposed for the study of pedestrian flow. We investigate the stability of homogeneous flow in the linear approximation and show the phase diagram of the model. We also investigate the behavior of pedestrian flow by numerical simulation in the cases of unidirectional and counter flow. From these results, we present a unified understanding of the properties of pedestrian flow and other related systems.
