Abstract

Summary In this article, we show two examples for the application of pedestrian flow simulation and analysis: the World Youth Day 2005 (WYD) in Cologne and the (non-emergency) egress from a football stadium. Various circumstances are specific for religious events. The persons might perform rituals and therefore the patterns of movement or gathering are governed by rules that go beyond simple necessity or comfort. Furthermore, the persons are usually very much attracted by the (idealistic) aim of their pilgrimage. The final service at the WYD in Cologne, celebrated by the Pope, was the major event during the WYD. The paper is divided into three parts: The first section is concerned with the World Youth Day and the second with the egress from a football stadium. The final section summarizes the results, provides recommendations and concludes with the most important implications for the field of crowd dynamics simulation.
