One of the objectives of the pedestrian analysis is to evaluate the effects\nof proposed policy on the pedestrian facilities before its implementation. The\nimplementation of a policy without pedestrian analysis might lead to a very\ncostly trial and error due to the implementation cost (i.e. user cost,\nconstruction time and cost, etc.). On the other hand, using good analysis\ntools, the trial and error of policy could be done in the analysis level. Once\nthe analysis could prove a good performance, the implementation of the policy\nis straightforward. The problem is how to evaluate the impact of the policy\nquantitatively toward the behavior of pedestrians before its implementation.\nSince the interaction of pedestrians cannot be well address using a macroscopic\nlevel of analysis, a microscopic level of analysis is the choice. However, the\nanalytical solution of the microscopic pedestrian model is very difficult and\nsimulation models are more practical approach. To evaluate the impact of the\npolicy quantitatively toward the behavior of pedestrians before its\nimplementation, a microscopic pedestrian simulation model was developed. The\nmodel was based on physical forces, which work upon each pedestrian\ndynamically. To demonstrate the numerical analysis of the model, an\nexperimental policy on pedestrian crossing was performed. The simulation\nresults showed that the keep right policy or the lane-like segregation policy\nis inclined to be superior to do minimum or mix-lane policy in terms of average\nspeed, average delay and dissipation time.\n
