Abstract

Summary Insights into pedestrian behavior, and tools to predict this behavior, are essential in the planning and design of public pedestrian facilities, such as transfer stations, shopping malls, and airports. Both macroscopic features of pedestrian flows and microscopic walking behavior underlying these features are important. This paper discusses findings from an experiment with crossing pedestrian flows, and in particular the free speed distribution of the participating pedestrians. Available free speed estimation methods developed for car traffic appear to be not suited for pedestrian traffic. This paper presents a dedicated adaptation of a method used for car traffic, with satisfactory results in pedestrian crossing flows.
