GENERAL APPROACH TO MODELING OF PEDESTRIAN FLOWS
Abstract
The author considers two approaches to modeling and analysis of pedestrian behavior in typical urban environment. One approach is based on civil engineering, the other one is focused on urban geography. Those two approaches are described by four models of pedestrian behavior, which are described respectively by physical and mathematical terms, by multi-agent, cellular automata, and queuing theory. A description of each of them is given, the specifics of the application are described, and examples of models implementation in software products are provided.
