MODELLING PASSENGER FLOWS IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT FACILITIES

The main research objective of this project is the development of a dedicated operational simulation tool to support designers of public transport facilities and other public space to optimize their designs. The chapters of the document cover the following: Introduction; user requirements of a pedestrian flow simulation tool; State-of-the-art of pedestrian flow theory; Laboratory experiments on pedestrian walking behavior; identification of processes and elements in a pedestrian flow model; models for pedestrian behavior in public transport facilities; implementation of a pedestrian flow simulation model; Verification and validation of SimPed; Case studies with SimPed; and, Conclusions.
