Modelo em mesoescala para simulação de multidões de pedestres em situações de tráfego veicular urbano

Abstract

The focus in this study was to develop a solution to model the movement of crowds of pedestrians in urban vehicular traffic Simulator ITSUMO, tool used in the emergency shaft State Network project of Social Simulation (RS-SOC). In view of the difference between the scales of a vehicle and a pedestrian in this simulator was proposed a mesoscale model to the crowd as a density of pedestrians that occupies the spaces of a public road over time, called Pedestrian Densities Model. This model is the result of observations about the behavior of pedestrian density produced by an implementation of the model of social forces, in environments whose movement took place in a single direction or in counter flow. To verify the application of the proposed model, he was put in comparison with this same model implementation of social forces. From a careful review of the results produced by the two models over time, one can realize that the pedestrian densities model is equivalent to the model of social forces when it comes to the density produced by both.
