Abstract

This study aims to quantify and develop a deeper understanding of the parameters that underpin the development of a new, predictive, microscopic model of pedestrian movement with the potential to accurately reflect the complexity of flow dynamics now and into the future. It presents the results and analyses of two single file experiments designed to quantify the physical space taken up by the extent of a person’s stepping movement (maximum step extent) and the minimum distance between points of inter-person contact (contact buffer) across a range of walking speeds.
