The merging flow model without a bottleneck is presented to mimic the pedestrian channel flow with a meeting point. Two channel flows in front of the meeting point interact one another when the exit density is higher than the maximal-current density. The distinct phase transition occurs by...

Pedestrian counter flow is investigated by experiment and simulation. The experiment is performed for the channel with open boundaries. Two types of walkers, going to the right and to the left, are taken into account. The video recordings and measurements of individual arrival times are...

A mean-field model is presented to mimic the pedestrian channel flow with a bottleneck. The pedestrian flow is described by the mean-field rate equation on the square lattice. The dynamical transition from the free flow to the choking flow is studied by carrying out a numerical simulation for...

The effect of partition line on the pedestrian counter flow is investigated under the open boundaries by using the lattice-gas model of biased random walkers. There are two types of walkers without the back step: the one is the walker going to the right and the other is the walker going to the...

Pedestrian traffic at a crossing is investigated under the open boundary condition by the use of the lattice gas model of biased random walkers without the back step. The four types of walkers interact with each other at the crossing where there are random walkers going to the right, left, up,...

Pedestrian flow is investigated under the open boundaries in a T-shaped channel where the branch flow joins the main flow at the junction. The pedestrian merging flow is simulated by the use of the lattice-gas model of biased random walkers. When the main flow rate increases under the constant...

Pattern formation is investigated in the pedestrian counter flow within a channel where there are two types of walkers going to the right and to the left. The lattice gas model of biased random walkers is extended to take into account following the front persons with the same direction (model...

A lattice gas model with biased random walkers is presented to mimic the pedestrian counter flow in a channel under the open boundary condition of constant density. There are two types of walkers without the back step: the one is the random walker going to the right and the other is the random...

Pedestrian channel flow at a bottleneck is investigated under the open boundaries by using the lattice-gas model of biased random walkers. It is shown that a dynamical phase transition occurs from the free flow to the choking flow at a critical density pc with increasing density. The flow rate...
