Title:

Modeling and Validating Pedestrian Dynamics at Crosswalk: A Social-Forced Based Approach

Accession Number:

01594092

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

This study aims to develop a microscopic pedestrian behavior model by considering various factors impacting on pedestrian’s dynamic at crosswalk. Particularly, the authors take into account the group evasion behavior with surrounding pedestrians, the “footprints” effect with the leader pedestrians, and the collision avoidance with conflicting vehicles with a composite force field. Then, a generic calibration approach based on maximum log-likelihood estimation is proposed, which enables to identify significant parameters in a statistical way. Last, a rigorous validation is conducted to confirm the model performance in five typical cases including the conflict with other pedestrians and turning vehicles.
