Workshop on pedestrian models 2014

Pedestrians

The workshop on pedestrian models is an informal meeting for the exchange of ideas around modeling pedestrians, with the objective to trigger new collaborations, or strengthen existing ones, and to expose the EPFL PhD students to the international community. The topics covered will include various aspects of pedestrian modeling, such as flow models (including fundamental diagrams), origin-destination matrices, simulation models, route choice behavior, walking behavior, etc. At the end of the workshop, a list of potential collaborations will be identified, with specific objectives.

Everyone interested is invited to attend. Presentations are upon invitation only. All participants, including speakers, must register (click here). The registration fee includes the dinner on Thursday, lunch on Friday, coffee breaks, as well as transportation on Saturday.
