Simulation of Pedestrians with the Social Force Model — •Anders Johansson and Dirk Helbing — Institute for Transport & Economics, Dresden University of Technology

In order to fully understand and analyze how the infrastructure in public facilities as well as in urban regions affects the overall characteristics of pedestrian crowds within these areas, computer simulations need to be performed. An implementation of the Social Force Model is discussed, which is suitable for both small-scale pedestrian simulations as well as computationally fast large-scale pedestrian simulations. We show simulations of proposed design solutions for maximizing the throughput and avoid peaks of density and pressure at critical locations. Among the applications one can find; Pilgrim streams on the Jamarat bridge, evacuation of soccer arenas and theaters. Also, self-organization phenomena such as lane formation, stripe formation and oscillations at bottlenecks are discussed.
