Abstract

This paper uses the second canteen of Beihang University to study the statistical features of pedestrian flow during the lunch peak period. We first use camera to collect the pedestrian flow data, then analyze the statistical features of data, thirdly propose a model to explore the pedestrian flow during the lunch peak period and finally testify the simulation results and the experiment data. The results show that the proposed model can perfectly reproduce the complex traffic phenomena that occur at university canteen during the peak period. The results can help administrators design some effective evacuation strategies when some emergencies occur at university canteen.
