Abstract

We propose a new modelling method for the simulation of pedestrian dynamics when the walking direction of the pedestrians cannot be represented by straight lines. The geometry of the simulation is approximated on a special triangular grid. We also study the pedestrians’ step execution for the general case of multi-position velocities and the possible interaction among them. We discuss the model on a ring-formed environment with periodic boundary.
