Measuring “Nigiwai” From Pedestrian Movement

PLANNING FOR MOVEMENT : Measuring and Modelling Pedestrian Flows in Cities

Learning Pedestrian Profiles from Movement Trajectories

Pedestrians are highly heterogeneous with regards to their physical capabilities and preferences, which in turn determine their individual infrastructural needs (Saelens et al. 2003, Millonig 2006). Other than in current pedestrian navigation systems, therefore, the possibility to compute personalized walking routes would be desirable, a precondition of which, however, is to derive detailed use...

Outlier Detection for Pedestrian Movement

Fast development of tracking devices has made trajectory outlier detection (TOD) possible and meaningful. Given a set of trajectories T , a TOD algorithm outputs a subset of T , of which trajectories are different from most of the other trajectories in some aspect(s). These trajectories, namely outliers, can indicate important or interesting information and are thus worth noticing. TOD techniqu...

List of Parameters Influencing the Pedestrian Movement and Pedestrian Database

In this paper we present a list of factors influencing the pedestrian behavior in different situations and conditions. In crowd simulation input we must consider at least two simulation conditions. The first is the normal condition and the second is the emergency condition or panic situation. In panic situations most parameters will be changed and the time factor becomes very important. Both em...

Natural movement: or, configuration and attraction in urban pedestrian movement

Existing theories relating patterns of pedestrian and vehicular movement to urban form characterise the problem in terms of flows to and from 'attractor' land uses. This paper contains evidence in support of a new 'configurational' paradigm in which a primary property of the form of the urban grid is to privilege certain spaces over others for through movement. In this way it is suggested that ...
