Replicate work of influential 2001 paper “Simulation of pedestrian dynamics using a 2-dimensional cellular automaton” with the CellPyLib module and then add our own twist
The Original Paper had no code, but gave the CA rule description and scenarios, which should be implementable with a custom rule and 2D Block CA function according to the CellPyLib documentation. We should then be able to replicate the behaviour on both scenarios of the paper (Evacuation of a large room and lane formation in a long corridor) as well as create a new scenario
Ideas for the twist
Create our own scenario based on our own UvA experience (like people getting off the train, out of class etc...)
Test how well it generalizes to other scenarios: either to recent literature we can get from influential citations
Change the CA rules to better ones from literature we can get from influential citations
Schedule
Monday
Read and discuss together Annual Reviews - Physics of Human Crowds
, which is an awesome literature review on crowd physics, modelling and complexity in crowds, to get in context
Read and discuss together the Original Paper, with special focus on both understanding the CA rules and the scenario definitions
Install CellPyLib and get familiar with it
Discuss which twist/scenario to add after replicating results
