T h e purpose of this study is to propose a mathematical model which describes the walking behavior of a person and analyzes the characteristics of h u m a n behavior in the crowd. T h e fundamental assumption is that the human behavior is not a random process but a deterministic process with several basic mechanisms and each fundamental mechanism is c o m m o n and only the parameter is d i f e r e n t f r o m person to person. T h e proposed model is based o n the servomechanism which drives a person along the planned path from point to point. This model has been applied to simulate the walks of people in a crowd and the simulated results have a good coincidence with actual measurement. After all, this model has been applied to simulate individual movement of people entering abruptly narrow space and it is shown that the so-called grouping phen o m e n o n can be reproduced by this model.
