In the present paper scalar macroscopic models for traffic and pedestrian flows are coupled and the resulting system is investigated numerically. For the traffic flow the classical Lighthill-Whitham model on a network of roads and for the pedestrian flow the Hughes model are used. These models are coupled via terms in the fundamental diagrams modeling an influence of the traffic and pedestrian ...

MODELING BEHAVIOR IN VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC FLOW by

This dissertation investigates the design and analysis of vehicular and pedestrian models. A type of vehicular model is developed both to offer novel contributions to vehicle behavior modeling as well as to use as a tool to learn how to create an even more complex behavioral model of pedestrian movement. First, the current state of modeling is investigated including purely behavioral studies an...

Characterisation of Optical Flow Anomalies in Pedestrian Traffic

This paper applies a video modelling technique to a surveillance scenario where pedestrians are monitored to detect unusual events. The aim is to investigate the components of an automatic vision system capable of detecting normal and abnormal behaviour. Such a system has application in surveillance scenarios like town centre plazas, stadiums, train stations and shopping malls. Surveillance usu...

A Systematic Method to Analyze Transport Networks: Considering Traffic Shifts

Current network modeling practices usually assess the network performance at specified time interval, i.e. every 5 or 10 years time horizon. Furthermore, they are usually based on partially predictable data, which are being generated through various stochastic procedures. In this research, a new quantitative based methodology which combines combinatorial optimization modeling and transportation...
