“…Similar parameter identification studies for pedestrian models have been recently introduced in [7,10] using a Bayesian probabilistic method and in [11,25] using neural networks. In contrast to [11,25], where the pedestrian speed or unknown interaction forces have been estimated, we address a more general setting that also allows for theoretical investigations and a rigorous numerical treatment. More precisely, for the neural networks we make some basic assumptions, but it is important to note that we do not prescribe any physical interaction assumptions.…”
