Speed-density relationship serves as a fundamental relationship, Single-regime con- cepts and deterministic models like Greenshield and Underwood were applied in the study to describe bidirec- tional flow characteristics on sidewalks and carriageways around transport terminals in India. Artificial Neural Net- work （ANN） approach is also used for traffic flow mod- elling to build a relationship between different pedestrian flow parameters. A non-linear model based on ANN is suggested and compared with the other deterministic models. Out of the aforesaid models, ANN model demonstrated good results based on accuracy measure- ment. Also these ANN models have an advantage in terms of their self-processing and intelligent behaviour. Flow parameters are estimated by ANN model using MFD （Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram）. Estimated mean absolute error （MAE） and root mean square error （RMSE）values for the best fitted ANN model are 3.83 and 4.73 m/ min, respectively, less than those for the other models for sidewalk movement. Further estimated MAE and RMSE values of ANN model for carriageway movement are 4.02 and 4.98 m/min, respectively, which are comparatively less than those of the other models. ANN model gives better performance in fitness of model and future prediction of flow parameters. Also when using linear regression model between observed and estimated values for speed and flow parameters, performance of ANN model gives better fitness to predict data as compared to deterministic model. R value for speed data prediction is 0.756 and for flow data pre- diction is 0.997 using ANN model at sidewalk movement around transport terminal.展开更多

In the presented model, both the static floor field and the view field were taken into account. Then each pedestrian can determine his/her desired walking directions according to both global and local information. The fundamental diagrams were obtained numerically under periodic boundary condition. It was found that the fundamental diagrams show good agreement with the measured data in the case of unidirectional flow, especially in the medium density range. However, the fundamental diagram for the case of bidirectional flow gave larger values than the measured data. Furthermore, the bidirectional flux is larger than the tmidirectional flux in a certain density range. It is indicated that the bidirectional flow may be more efficient than the unidirectional flow in some cases. The process of lane formation is quite quick in the model. Typical flow patterns in three scenarios were given to show some realistic applications.展开更多
