Abstract
The prediction of pedestrian flows in buildings and pedestrian areas is an important concern during the planning phase of pedestrian facilities. In the last two decades several macroscopic [Henderson 1971; Helbing 1992] and microscopic [Gibbs and Marksjö 1985; Helbing 1991; Ebihara et al. 1992; Løvås 1994] models of the behavior of pedestrians have been developed for this purpose.
