Pedestrian behavior at bottlenecks

Submitted by administrator on Tue, 05/09/2006 - 19:51
Pedestrian behavior at bottlenecks - Web page
This article discusses experimental findings of microscopic pedestrian behavior in case of bottlenecks. Results for both a narrow bottleneck and a wide bottleneck are discussed and compared to the results of an experiment without a bottleneck. It is shown how pedestrians inside bottlenecks effectively form layers or trails, the distance between which is approximately 45 cm.
