Pedestrian Flow Model Considering Influence of Experiential Information in Route Selection

Abstract

Mathematical modeling of the crowd behavior is inevitable for evaluating the safety and comfort of social systems. In this study, we focus on a dynamical flow model of the crowd behavior, which reflects the subjective behavior of the pedestrians in the crowd, and construct a pedestrian flow model of the route-selection introducing the effect of subjective satisfaction. The features of the proposed model are investigated based on the simulation of pedestrian flows with route selection.
