Abstract
The influence of agents heterogeneity on the microscopic characteristics of pedestrian flow is studied via an evacuation simulation tool based on the Floor-Field model. The heterogeneity is introduced in agents velocity, aggressiveness, and sensitivity to occupation. The simulation results are compared to data gathered during an original experiment. The comparison shows that the heterogeneity in aggressiveness and sensitivity to occupation enables to reproduce high variance of travel-time in congestion. This variance is closely related to the ability of some pedestrians to push effectively through the crowd or walk around it. The heterogeneity in velocity seems to be redundant.
