Mathematical Colloquium - Lecture by Dr. Tobias Kretz, Chief Product Manager at PTV Group

Invitation to the mathematical colloquium

Wednesday, November 20, 2019, Seminar Room A (R209), 5 p.m. c. t.

Dr. Tobias Kretz,
Chief Product Manager at PTV Group

will talk about the topic
 

" An overview of pedestrian modeling and simulation in theory and application "

Abstract: Planning pedestrian flows in detail has become a standard engineering task worldwide. Agent-based (or "micro") simulations are used for planning of station and airport layouts, festival operations or traffic light programs and urban pedestrian spaces. The Social Force Model of pedestrian dynamics is one of the most widely used theories implemented in simulation software. The presentation will introduce the model and its discuss its properties analytically. Finally, some examples of planning projects will be shown.

Starting at 16:45, there will be an opportunity for all interested parties to talk over coffee and tea in the meeting room (R206).
