TL;DR
This paper introduces an extension to the F.A.S.T.-model, a microscopic pedestrian simulation, enabling it to handle counterflow situations and reproduce lane formation effects.
Contribution
The paper presents a novel extension to the F.A.S.T.-model that allows simulation of counterflow pedestrian dynamics and lane formation.
Findings
Successfully models counterflow situations
Reproduces lane formation effect
Capable of handling various pedestrian scenarios
Abstract
The F.A.S.T. (Floor field and Agent based Simulation Tool) model is a microscopic model of pedestrian dynamics, which is discrete in space and time. It was developed in a number of more or less consecutive steps from a simple CA model. This contribution is a summary of a study on an extension of the F.A.S.T-model for counterflow situations. The extensions will be explained and it will be shown that the extended F.A.S.T.-model is capable of handling various counterflow situations and to reproduce the well known lane formation effect.
