pedestrian dynamics

Pedestrian dynamics study how people move and interact in shared spaces, such as sidewalks, stations, or events. It examines how individuals navigate around obstacles, avoid collisions, and adjust their speed based on their surroundings and other pedestrians. Factors like crowd density, environment layout, and walking behavior influence flow efficiency and safety. Understanding these dynamics helps optimize space design, improve crowd management, and prevent accidents or congestion, ensuring smoother, safer movement for everyone in public areas.
