PedNStream: Scalable Network Flow Simulation for Pedestrian Traffic Management

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.01021v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Evaluating operational crowd management at network scale requires simulations that can be run repeatedly while adapting interventions to changing conditions. Microscopic models can represent detailed individual movement, but their computational cost may limit their use in such repeated, network-scale evaluations. This paper presents PedNStream (Pedestrian Network Flow Simulation), an open-source, Python-native simulator for macroscopic pedestrian network simulation based on the Link Transmission Model (LTM). PedNStream extends LTM-based pedestrian models with stochastic link dynamics that represent local variation in pedestrian flow. It uses a utility-based route-choice model to capture how pedestrians adjust their route choices in respon
