Transportation research record, 2000•journals.sagepub.comThe objective of this study is to explore the modeling of multidirectional pedestrian flows.
The complex interactions between flow entities within m-directional space present
challenges that cannot be readily handled by existing bidirectional flow models. A cellular
automata microsimulation model for four-directional flow is prescribed. This model, built on
previous bidirectional models developed by the authors, additionally seeks to manage cross-
directional conflicts. Performance of this function in the simulation of unidirectional …

The objective of this study is to explore the modeling of multidirectional pedestrian flows. The complex interactions between flow entities within m-directional space present challenges that cannot be readily handled by existing bidirectional flow models. A cellular automata microsimulation model for four-directional flow is prescribed. This model, built on previous bidirectional models developed by the authors, additionally seeks to manage cross-directional conflicts. Performance of this function in the simulation of unidirectional, bidirectional, cross-directional, and four-directional flows is presented. The applications extend to m-directional terminal facility design and to four-directional street corners, a vital component in any network model of pedestrians.
