Title:

A Study of Left-Right Preference of Pedestrian Counter Flow in Passageways

Accession Number:

Record Type:

Abstract:

How does left-right preference affect pedestrian movement efficiency? In this article, a simulation model combining social force algorithm and queuing theory with preference effect is established to study the dynamics of crowded movement. Furthermore, a numerical case study of a passageway of certain open-style station is conducted on the basis of the model with local passenger flow features. Then according to critical densities of Level of Service (LOS) concept, effects of different preference intensity, width of passageway and passenger flow rate were investigated. The results of this paper have the potential to be references for supporting decision makers on designing and managing such stations and other similar environments, such as passageways connecting to airplane, ship and border.
