A large scale pedestrian simulation method, implemented with an agent based modelling paradigm, is presented within this paper. It allows rapid prototyping and real-time modifications, suitable for quick generation and testing of the viability of pedestrian movement in urban environments. The techniques described for pedestrian simulation make use of parallel processing through graphics card ha...

This research paper lays stress on philosophies of human desire. All the human being has some psychical need in addition to physical needs. And to satisfy the psychical needs, there is a need for stimulants, more in case of exclusive pedestrian precincts. Having exclusively Pedestrian precincts/Cores in city design draws its inspiration from the fact that public zones, accessible to majority of...

ABSTRACT A vibrant and commercially active center is often the result of interesting, diverse building styles and or built-forms, pedestrian density along with variety of quality public places where people feel comfortable, spending time and shopping items for domestic and commercial functions in cities like Addis Ababa. The scale and design of buildings, pedestrian density, and other phy...

As a result of the geometric constraints stairs, pedestrian movement features on stairways are different from level ambulation. Therefore, it is necessary for us to consider stairs' three-dimensional geometry when we try explore how stair configuration affects efficiency. Based fundamental previous single-file experiment investigated flow under various configurations with an improved agent-base...

Capacity estimation is an important tool for the design and dimensioning of pedestrian facilities. The literature contains different procedures and specifications which show considerable differences with respect to the estimated flow values. Moreover do new experimental data indicate a stepwise growing of the capacity with the width and thus challenge the validity of the specific flow concept. ...

Research Objective Recent statistical data of traffic accidents reveals that pedestrian fatalities are a particular priority in Europe and Japan. To realize zero-traffic accident society, the objective of this paper is to develop a driver assistance system for pedestrian collision prevention based on using a monocular camera. Methodology As the concept of the system, moving objects on and nearb...

Pedestrian and bicycle monitoring is quickly becoming an avid area of interest as information regarding pedestrian and bicycle flow is needed not only for developing competent access to particular urban corridors and trails, but also for system optimization scenarios, such as transit system operations and intersection controls. In this paper, we present a simple, yet effective method for tracki...

Summa r'y. The number of models for pedestr ian dynamics has grown in the pa.st years, but the experimental data to discriminate between these models is still to a large extent unce rtain and contradictory. To enhance the data base a nd to resolve some discrepancies discussed in the literature over one hundred yean; wc studied the pedestr ian flow through bottlenecks by an experiment performed ...
