A MODEL FOR PEDESTERIAN MOVEMENT WITH OBSTACLE EVASION USING PERSONAL SPACE CONCEPT

Abstract

This thesis proposes a method to express the flow of movement by pedestrians who encounter and maneuver around wheelchairs. The thesis describes the behavior of avoiding interference and trying to maintain distance from other pedestrians based on the concept of personal space.
The methodology proposed in this thesis reproduces the characteristics of the flow of pedestrian movement, which is known, and allows us to predict such movement under more complicated circumstances at the same time.
