Walking distance estimation using multi-agent simulation of pedestrian flows

Using multi-agent simulation to predict natural crossing points for pedestrians and choose locations for mid-block crosswalks

“…Object coordinates can be taken from the map of the area, and the data on the pedestrian routes can be obtained from the results of the ARP simulation. At the same time, a pedestrian simulation using the mechanism of desire path formation, is capable of producing much more accurate results than a simple search for ways along the roads existing on the map (Khodnenko, Kudinov, and Smirnov 2018).…”
