Abstract

We investigateCorbetta, Alessandro via extensive experimentalLee, Chung-Min data the dynamics of pedestriansMuntean, Adrian walking in a corridor-shaped landingToschi, Federico in a building at Eindhoven University of Technology. With year-long automatic measurements employing a Microsoft Kinect™ 3D-range sensor and ad hoc tracking techniques, we acquired few hundreds of thousands pedestrian trajectories in real-life conditions. Here, we discuss the asymmetric features of the dynamics in the two walking directions with respect to the flights of stairs (i.e. ascending or descending). We provide a detailed analysis of position and speed fields for the cases of pedestrians walking alone undisturbed and for couple of pedestrians in counter-flow. Then, we show average walking velocities exploring all the observed combinations in terms of numbers of pedestrians and walking directions.
