Comparison of Turbulent Pedestrian Behaviors Between Mina and Love Parade

Study on the characteristics of turbulent pedestrian behaviors has enormous practical significance for activity organization, capacity estimation, facility design, pedestrian model's verification and congestion detection. In this paper, the turbulent pedestrian flows of the Mina and the Love Parade crowd disaster are analyzed. The differences are compared in many aspects, such as time averaged velocity field, space averaged velocity, instantaneous velocity field, scales of eddies, speed distribution and velocity direction distribution. The results can be used to indicate dangerous regions and unreasonable designs of facilities.
