Abstract

In this study, pedestrian crowd dynamics at corner turns were investigated by analyzing pedestrian trajectories in a subject experiment for building more reliable, general-purpose, pedestrian simulation models. An experiment under laboratory conditions was conducted wherein a pedestrian crowd walked straight for a short distance before turning into a right-angled corner built with partition walls; the opposite sides were unwalled. Trials were performed with different widths and densities of initial participant positions. Finally, the trajectories of the pedestrians were extracted from a video through computer image analysis. The results demonstrated that pedestrian behavior at corner turns depends on lane position, lane distance (from the wall), and crowd density.
