Abstract

In this paper, a macroscopic crowd model is developed to simulate pedestrian flow characteristics and walking behaviors in a facility scattered with an obstacle. Pedestrians are assumed to walk towards a desired destination deviating from the path of shortest travel time according to the environmental factors. Some preliminary numerical results demonstrate reasonable path choice strategy for pedestrians can reduce the chance of traffic congestion occurring.
