Abstract

We construct a two dimensional Cellular Automata based model for the description of pedestrian dynamics. Wide range of complicated pattern formation phenomena in pedestrian dynamics are described in the model, e.g. lane formation, jams in a counterflow and egress behavior. Mean-field solution of the densely populated case and numerical solution of the sparsely populated case are provided. This model has the potential to describe more flow phenomena.
