Spatiotemporal Trajectories of Pedestrian Mobility at the Train Station: evidence of 24 million trajectories.

Understanding pedestrian movement remains crucial for designing efficient and safe transportation structures such as terminals, stations, or airports. The significance of conducting a granular analysis in pedestrian mobility dynamics research is evident in refining crowd behavior modeling. It is essential for gaining insights into potential terminal layouts, crowd management strategies, and evacuation procedures, all of which enhance safety and efficiency.

Calibration of pedestrian ingress model based on CCTV surveillance data using machine learning methods.

Machine learning methods and agent-based models enable the optimization of the operation of high-capacity facilities. In this paper, we propose a method for automatically extracting and cleaning pedestrian traffic detector data for subsequent calibration of the ingress pedestrian model. The data was obtained from the waiting room traffic of a vaccination center.

Analysis of the use of behavioral data from virtual reality for calibration of agent-based evacuation models.

Agent-based evacuation modeling represents an effective tool for making predictions about evacuation aspects of buildings such as evacuation times, congestions, and maximum safe building capacity. Collection of real behavioral data for calibrating agent-based evacuation models is time-consuming, costly, and completely impossible in the case of buildings in the design phase, where predictions about evacuation behavior are especially needed. In recent years evacuation experiments conducted in virtual reality (VR) have been frequently proposed in the literature as an effective tool for collecting data about human behavior.
