Abstract

The dynamics of pedestrian flows can be captured in a continuum modelling framework. However, compared to vehicular flow, this is a much more challenging task. In particular the integration of flow propagation and path choice are known to be problematic. Furthermore, pedestrian flow is characterised by different self-organised phenomena, such as the formation of dynamic lanes and diagonal stripes, which have not yet been captured in a continuum modelling framework.
