Abstract: Abstract We present applications and numerical results for a bionics-inspired cellular automaton approach to pedestrian dynamics [1,2]. The model is able to reproduce collective effects and self-organization phenomena encountered in pedestrian traffic, e.g. lane formation in counterflow. Here we present an analysis of the quantitative impact of the so-called sensitivity parameters k S and k D during evacuation processes. Furthermore the model is applied to the problem of optimization of evacuation times.
