Abstract
The pedestrian movement is more complex than vehicular flow for the reason that people are more flexible and intelligent than cars. Without the limit of “lanes” pedestrian movement is loose and free. Furthermore, they are easily affected by other walkers as well as the environment around. In this paper, a special technique is introduced considering human behavior to make the rules more reasonable. By simulating the two-dimension pedestrian movement in corridor, the phase transition phenomena of pedestrian movement, including the walkers moving bottom-up and top-down, are presented. Studying on the effect of possibility of exchange position between face-to-face pedestrians propose that the considerable exchange possibility is about 0.20 in the scope studied in this paper.
