Under the background of China's large-scale rail transit construction and the expansion of operation ground, as a key factor, the safety and organization of mass and high-density pedestrian flow in rail transit has received wide attention.
While limited research is available on pedestrian characteristics in other geometric elements, Zhang et al. [28] compared the FDs for a T-Junction and straight corridor and expressed that FDs of various facilities cannot be compared because of the inequality existed between inflow and outflow which leads to a transition between low densities and high densities in the pedestrian flow.
In this paper, a higher-order macroscopic model for bi-direction pedestrian flow is presented to investigate macroscopic crowd patterns of bi-direction pedestrian movement.
Differently, for higher densities (from 2.5m-2 to 4.0m-2), the presence of groups has a little impact on pedestrian flow: in Figures 6 and 7 it is possible to note that higher level of flow are assigned to situations with groups with respect to situations without groups.
After that value, the influence of width on the pedestrian flow seems to be not relevant, probably due to the activation of overlapping extension to deal with high density situation (Section "Overlapping extension") and to the phenomenon of lane formation.
These included lanes of uniform walking directions, oscillations of the pedestrian flow at bottlenecks, and "stripes" of intersecting flows.
Perhaps this sounds a trifle dictatorial, but imagine the beautiful pedestrian flow.
Analyzing pedestrian flow characteristics and the interaction mechanism among pedestrians or between pedestrians and environment, we proposed a pedestrian flow simulation model based on the multi-agent technology.
The pedestrian flow is directed through a pedestrian corridor surrounded by mazes.
This section describes the characteristics of pedestrian flow and speed on pedestrian facilities.
Fundamental relationships of pedestrian flow characteristics for various classes of pedestrians are different [3, 56].
