Crowd safety: prototyping for the future: Summary report showing how the science for “pedestrian flow” can keep up with demographic change

This report presents the final output from the project Crowd safety: prototyping for the future. The research includes a scoping study focusing on determining primary parameters for pedestrian movement and experimental results on movement in various conditions that focus on movement speed, contact distance and movement behaviour. A parametric model for predicting movement is presented based on this research and finally a road map is proposed that outlines the relevant steps for future research on pedestrian movement and human behaviour in a hazardous situation.
