“…We believe that as the crowd density increases, pedestrians are more willing to get closer to other pedestrians. Based on empirical observations from video data and on [3,4], a second hypothesis is discussed: in sparse crowds, pedestrians are also more willing to turn rather than slow down as they approach a crowd. In brief, the base model used to build the adaptation presented in this paper is the SFM [13] including limiting acceleration plus a physical collision force to prevent overlapping [14] and an ellipse body shape.…”
