New PedNStream simulator offers scalable pedestrian traffic management

A new open-source Python simulator called PedNStream has been developed for simulating pedestrian traffic flow in large-scale environments. This tool is designed for efficient, feedback-based control of crowds, extending the Link Transmission Model with stochastic dynamics and utility-based route choice. PedNStream is intended as a practical testbed for managing pedestrian networks through interventions like gating and rerouting, with demonstrated scalability and controller integration. AI

IMPACT Provides a new tool for simulating and managing complex crowd dynamics, potentially aiding urban planning and event management.

    PedNStream: Scalable Network Flow Simulation for Pedestrian Traffic Management

    Large-scale crowd management requires pedestrian simulations that are both computationally efficient and compatible with feedback-based control. However, most open-source tools are either microscopic or not designed for network-scale closed-loop evaluation. This paper presents Pe…
