Analysis of Space Usage on Train Station Platforms Based on Trajectory Data

The article presents how boarding and alighting passengers show different behavior at the platform. Alighters leave the platform in a mostly straight way, while boarding passengers arrive with head time to their train and therefore spend some time waiting at the platform.

Crowds in front of bottlenecks at entrances from the perspective of physics and social psychology

In an interdisciplinary study, physical and social psychological effects on crowd dynamics were investigated based on a bottleneck experiment with focus on the dynamics in front of the bottleneck.
