Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become the de facto standard for the digital representation of buildings. However, from the pedestrian dynamics perspective, BIM Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) schema specification do not fully support data properties required for two-way data sharing with pedestrian modelling tools. An international team of academic and industry researchers, supported by buildingSMART International (bSI), is developing an Occupant Movement Analysis (OMA) standard. The project is focused on expanding the IFC schema specification to support workflows for pedestrian simulation tools and is close to completion. So far, multiple process maps and a list of data properties synchronised with several representative pedestrian modelling tools have been produced. This list of data properties was then converted into bSI's recommended flexible and machine interpretable Information Delivery Specification (IDS) format for specifying data exchange requirements and to add clarity. Currently, this is undergoing testing and review by the project team. Once completed, it will be submitted to bSI’s committees for review. Also, to support this work, a prototype open-source Add-in has been developed to demonstrate a two-way integrated data sharing between BIM authoring tools and pedestrian simulation tools. This standard will enhance data sharing between BIM authoring and pedestrian modelling tools by facilitating the capturing of the required data and addressing friction in multiple design iterations and reassessment.

Presently, classifications of pedestrian crowds primarily rely on density. This fails to encompass the diverse behaviours and risk profiles observed. We introduce two dimensionless numbers, the Intrusion number In, based on the desire to maintain one’s personal space, and the Avoidance number Av, based on the anticipation of collisions. These two numbers delineate different flow regimes, as we intuitively expect and as we empirically demonstrate using an extensive dataset. Similarly to Fluid Mechanics, where dimensionless numbers guide the choice between different approximations, the dynamics of crowds can be approached in each regime by perturbative expansions, which yield pedestrian models applicable in the corresponding regime (and only there).

We recently proposed the "Congestion Number" (CN) as a metricto evaluate the state of a pedestrian crowd. Such metric, whose definition is based on the gradient of the rotor of the crowd velocity field, appears to provide additional information with respect to traditional metrics based on pedestrian density and flow. We also published two works on the dynamics of orthogonally crossing pedestrian flows under different density regimes. In the first manuscript we analysed experimental data by using traditionalobservables such as density, velocity and relative position between pedestrians, along with less explored ones such as body orientation. In the second one we proposed a hierarchy of simulation models to reproduce the cross-flow dynamics, and used the aforementioned observables to compare such models. Based on theoretical considerations and analysis of real world data, we believe the crossing flow setting to be a good arena to test the CN metric, and in this work we perform a CN analysis on the empirical and simulation data. Results show that simulation models, which reproduced almost perfectly the density time dependence of the pedestrian crowd, fail to reproduce the CN one. Actually, models "outperform" the pedestrian crowd when analysed using CN. These preliminary results suggest that the CN metric may provide useful information not only in crowd assessment but also in model evaluation.

Various methods of calibration are used depending on the model type, application, and individual preferences. While there is no universally applicable method, statistical techniques became popular in recent decades. Introduced calibration concept consists of separate calibration episodes to avoid choosing only a few metrics to describe the whole system and a high computational time increasing exponentially with the number of parameters. These episodes are designed to be separated from each other and to cover one type of pedestrian behaviour captured by some model parameters. The design of the calibration quantities; estimate of the needed simulation time to get stationary results; and the number of iterations by Chebyshev's inequality influencing the quality of the results are discussed. Furthermore, hypothesis testing (James' test) is used to compare the model and experimental data. This calibration process can be applied for any pedestrian model; this paper deals with its application on the crowd-behaviour phase in the author's decision based model.

For improving the safety of people in large crowds, it is of great importance to understand the basic mechanisms of pedestrian dynamics, e.g. with help of experiments. The number of openly shared datasets of these experiments has increased in the last years also due to stricter requirements from journals and funders. We share our own experimental data by an open access data archive which data is widely used in the community. However, our data and also data of other researchers in the field of pedestrian dynamics is not annotated in a systematic or semantically harmonized way, which impairs FAIRness in general and interoperability specifically. In this paper, we propose a standardized extensible metadata schema and key data structures for trajectories and geometry. The proposed metadata schema and data structures hopefully support the interoperability within the community and will assist to make data reutilization more efficient. Our own legacy datasets are continuously annotated with essential information using this metadata schema steadily. This metadata is provided beside the converted data on our data archive and thus enhance its findability and reusability.

Heterogeneous crowd consisting of pedestrians with essentially diverse abilities behaves in certain aspects differently than a homogeneous crowd consisting of "average" pedestrians. This study investigates the influence of heterogeneity in aspects connected to the ability to navigate through a crowd in front of a bottleneck. Simulations of cellular multi-agent model suggest that the heterogeneity in ability to push through the crowd (represented by aggressiveness) and willingness to bypass the crowd (represented by sensitivity to occupation) may be responsible for the bottleneck flow decreasing in time – a phenomenon observed in experiments.

This work aims to add to the current database of human movement data, specifically, 3-stair descent speeds from controlled trials of typically aging older adults (n=212, aged 60-99) with and without mobility impairments. Additionally, to explore the impacts of model input parameters, stair and walking speeds obtained from controlled trials are used to simulate first-iteration Canadian retirement home egress scenarios with Pathfinder. Analysis of descending stair speeds reveal interesting trends and key inter-population variations. Moreover, when the stair and horizontal walking speeds determined from these controlled trials are used as inputs into the illustrative egress simulations, a difference in predicted egress outcomes are seen compared to when model defaults are used. Together, the findings indicate important egress considerations for a vulnerable population.

After more than eight years of intensive work, the second part of the German DIN 18009 standard on "Simulation of evacuation and personal safety" was published in August 2022. The DIN 18009 series offers a guideline for fire protection engineering for Germany. The first part "Principles and application rules" was published in 2016, with further parts describing standards for smoke simulation and safety concepts to follow. This marks a milestone in the application of simulation models in the safety context for Germany. This article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of prescriptive guidelines and performance-based engineering methods in the context of building evacuation. Furthermore, aspects of the application of the DIN 18009-2 are highlighted, and what challenges are still to be tackled and how. This includes in particular the choice and definition of scenarios and performance criteria.

Impulse propagation in crowds is a phenomenon that is crucial for understanding collective dynamics, but has been scarcely addressed so far. Therefore, we have carried out experiments in which persons standing in a crowd are pushed forward in a controlled manner.Variations of experimental parameters include (i) the intensity of the push, (ii) the initial inter-person distance, (iii) the preparedness of participants and (iv) the crowd formation. Our analysis links the intensity of an impulse recorded by a pressure sensor with individual movements of participants based on head trajectories recorded by overhead cameras and 3D motion capturing data. The propagation distance as well as the propagation speed of the external impact depends mainly on the intensity of the impulse, whereas no significant effect regarding the preparedness of participants could be found. Especially the propagation speed is influenced by the initial inter-person distance. From the comparison between two methods that detect the time of motion due to the impulse, a more sensitive result is obtained when the velocity of three landmarks of the human body is taken into account and not only the forward displacement of the center of mass. Furthermore, the more intertwined participants are in relation to each other, the more the impulse is distributed to the sides. As a result, more people are affected, however with smaller individual displacements.

The understanding of crowd behavior dynamics holds immense significance in ensuring public safety across a range of situations, including emergency evacuations and large-scale events. Our research focuses on two primary objectives: investigating the impact of emotions on crowd movement and gaining valuable insights into collective behavior within crowds. To achieve this, we present a coupled model, incorporating an enhanced ASCRIBE model with an agent displacement model. We introduce heterogeneity into our model by incorporating specific mobility laws for different categories of panicked crowds, considering the influence of emotions on both speed and direction. Through numerical simulations, we analyze the model's parameters, observe the behavior of uniform crowds, and explore the collective dynamics within diverse crowds. By conducting comprehensive simulations and analyses, the findings from this study can contribute to the development of more effective crowd management strategies and emergency evacuation protocols.
