Abstract

The microscopic scale of pedestrian dynamics modeling requires creating various kinds of models. Two features of a model seem to be most important: simulation realism and computational effectiveness. The paper describes nonhomogeneous CA model of pedestrian dynamics for a certain limited area. The pedestrians are represented by ellipses on a square lattice, which implies the necessity of taking into account some geometrical constraints for each cell. Edward Hall’s idea of social distances is introduced into the model — pedestrian behavior in the model is influenced by the rules of proxemics. As an example, the authors present a simulation of pedestrian behavior in a tram.
