Evaluation of pedestrian data collection methods within a simulation framework

10th Swiss Transport Research Conference, Ascona, Switzerland

The estimation and validation of pedestrian behavioral models requires large amounts of detailed and appropriate data, the collection of which is a costly and time-consuming undertaking. The identification and design of an appropriate data collection method therefore is of great importance, which, however, is an arduous and itself time-consuming task. This article describes a software laboratory that facilitates the design of pedestrian data collection campaigns.
