Abstract:
In this paper a new pedestrian mobility model for outdoor scenarios is presented. It captures realistic features like moving-in-groups, conscious traveling and smart traveling. The routing algorithm proposed within the model works under a step by step approach, leading users to their destination while, at the same time, using more attractable streets from a pedestrian point of view. The model concept is perfectly generic and applicable to any pedestrian outdoor scenario, provided that the street database and pedestrian traffic information is available. The mobility model was validated using Lisbon's downtown as a case study. The output shows a high correlation between simulated and real data, thus validating the approach.
