Football Stadium Simulation — A microscopic simulation of the pedestrian access

  • Conference paper
Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics 2005

Abstract

In this work we will present a set of results from the simulation of the input process of a football stadium. The results were obtained with Smartcrowd. This simulation software considers each pedestrian individually and calculates the real physical forces acting over him/her. With Smartcrowd it is possible to introduce behavioral patterns for representing collective behavior. The results were compared with observations made in the real system. We will also introduce the methodology used for extracting very useful information from the real system. The considered problem is highly complex as it involves thousands of persons, different activities and a simulation surface of about 10.000 m2.
