Our group aims to implement a simulator to allow the observation of pedestrian behaviour and the iterative analysis of various travel scenarios within a multimodal transport interface.
Crowd simulation is a very complex exercise. The phenomenon is very random but it must nevertheless adapt to certain rules of traffic regulation. It therefore involves the management of a multitude of elements in permanent interaction in well-defined space-time. The simulation in progress is a pilot project because for the first time, it compares the studies carried out by different groups of engineers, combining both the research and the functional dimensions.
The proposed simulation, like any other simulation, cannot under any circumstances claim to provide turnkey solutions or reproduce the phenomenon accurately. It nevertheless makes it possible to propose a very effective decision support tool because it is dynamic and iterative. It offers the opportunity to observe crowd movements in direct interaction with networks.
