Abstract:
Micro-scale agent-based modeling can be used for the simulation of pedestrian movement for low and high density scenarios and of the effect of changes in an environment. Such models can also be used for pedestrian dynamics in city centers to show the design effects in the shopping environment. The main contribution of this paper is to introduce the implication of planned and unplanned store visits within a simulation framework for pedestrian movement simulation. This paper reports findings of planned and unplanned store visits by using Monte Carlo simulation.
