Abstract

This contribution presents an experimental study of two-dimensional pedestrian flow with the aim to capture the pedestrian behaviour within the cluster formed in front of the bottleneck. Two experiments of passing through a room with one entrance and one exit were arranged according to phase transition study in Ezaki and Yanagisawa (Metastability in pedestrian evacuation. In: Cellular automata, ed. by G. Sirakoulis, S. Bandini. LNCS, vol 7495. Springer, Berlin/Heidelberg, pp 776–784, 2012), the inflow rate was regulated to obtain different walking modes. By means of automatic image processing, pedestrians’ paths are extracted from camera recordings to get actual velocity and local density. Macroscopic information is extracted by means of a virtual detector and leaving times of pedestrians. The pedestrian’s behaviour is evaluated by means of density and velocity. Different approaches of measurement are compared using several fundamental diagrams. Two phases of crowd behaviour have been recognized and the phase transition is described.
