The formulation of pedestrian floor field cellular automaton models is generally based on
hypothetical assumptions to represent reality. This paper proposes a novel methodology to …

We discuss several aspects related to the validation and calibration of cellular automata
based models of pedestrian dynamics. Empirical fundamental diagrams obtained in large …

While cellular automaton (CA) models have a broad range of applications in the field of
pedestrian dynamics, there are still three significant issues (the efficient and accurate …

The floor field cellular automaton model (FFCA) has been widely adopted to simulate
pedestrian and evacuation dynamics. Many self-organized phenomena could be …

Previous studies assume pedestrians rotate with a single axis (often the geometric center of
agents in simulation) for simple implementation, which ignores the asymmetry and bipedal …

This paper proposes an extended floor field cellular automaton (FFCA) model for evacuation
simulations, which integrates the natural step length into pedestrian movement. The model …

Modeling pedestrian movement is an interesting problem both in statistical physics and in
computational physics. Update schemes of cellular automaton (CA) models for pedestrian …

Walking in groups is very common in a realistic walking environment. An extended floor field
cellular automaton (CA) model is therefore proposed to describe the walking behavior of …

Pedestrian simulation models based on Cellular Automata are viable alternatives to particle
based approaches, employing a continuous spatial representation. The effects of …
