Abstract

This articleZiemer, Verena considers executionSeyfried, Armin and analysisSchadschneider, Andreas of laboratory experiments of pedestrians moving in a quasi-one-dimensional system with periodic boundary conditions. To analyse characteristics of jams in the system we aim to use the whole experimental set-up as the measurement area. Thus, the trajectories are transformed to a new coordinate system. We show that the trajectory data from the straight and curved parts are comparable and assume that the distributions of the residuals come from the same continuous distribution. Regarding the trajectories of the entire set-up, the creation of stop-and-go waves in pedestrian traffic can be investigated and described.
