Abstract
Pedestrian dynamics exhibits a variety of fascinating and surprising collective phenomena (lane formation, flow oscillations at doors etc.). A 2-dimensional cellular automaton model is presented which is able to reproduce these effects. Inspired by the principles of chemotaxis the interactions between the pedestrians are mediated by a so-called floor field. This field has a similar effect as the chemical trace created e.g. by ants to guide other individuals to food places. Due to its simplicity the model allows for faster than real time simulations of large crowds.
