Continuous measurements of real-life bidirectional pedestrian flows on a wide walkway
Employing partially overlapping overhead KinectTMsensors and automatic pedestrian tracking algorithms we recorded the crowd traffic in a rectilinear section of the main walkway of Eindhoven train station on a 24/7 basis.Beside giving access to the train platforms (it passes underneath the railways), the walkway plays an important connection role in the city.Several crowding scenarios occur during the day, including high-and low-density dynamics in uni-and bi-directional regimes.In this paper we discuss our recording technique and we illustrate preliminary data analyses.Via fundamental diagrams-like representations we report pedestrian velocities and fluxes vs.pedestrian density.Considering the density range 0-1.1 ped/m2, we find that at densities lower than 0.8 ped/m2 pedestrians in unidirectional flows walk faster than in bidirectional regimes.On the opposite, velocities and fluxes for even bidirectional flows are higher above 0.8 ped/m2.
