PedNStream: Scalable Network Flow Simulation for Pedestrian Traffic Management

- 基于LTM扩展随机路段动态,模拟行人流动的局部变异。
- 支持实时路径调整与拥堵响应,验证了排队、溢出等核心机制。
- 模块化设计适合交通控制研究,运行效率高,可扩展性强。
在网络尺度评估人群管理策略需可重复运行且能适应动态变化的仿真工具。微观模型虽能刻画个体行为,但计算开销大,难以用于大规模反复评估。本文提出开源、原生Python的宏观数学行人网络仿真器PedNStream,基于链接传播模型(LTM)构建。其通过引入随机路段动态,捕捉行人流量的局部波动;采用基于效用的路径选择模型,模拟行人在拥堵和干预下随时间调整路径的行为。模块化框架提供通行控制、流分离和路径引导的控制器接口。通过分阶段评估:合成场景验证了排队形成、溢出、拥堵消散及自适应重路由等关键机制;真实网络实验与实测行人数量对比,评估大规模行为;闭环案例研究展示控制器集成效果;运行时分析量化其可扩展性。结果表明,PedNStream是高效且实用的大规模行人网络仿真与人群管理研究平台。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Evaluating operational crowd management at network scale requires simulations that can be run repeatedly while adapting interventions to changing conditions. Microscopic models can represent detailed individual movement, but their computational cost may limit their use in such repeated, network-scale evaluations. This paper presents PedNStream (Pedestrian Network Flow Simulation), an open-source, Python-native simulator for macroscopic pedestrian network simulation based on the Link Transmission Model (LTM). PedNStream extends LTM-based pedestrian models with stochastic link dynamics that represent local variation in pedestrian flow. It uses a utility-based route-choice model to capture how pedestrians adjust their route choices in response to congestion and control interventions as conditions change over time. The modular framework provides controller interfaces for gating, flow separation, and route guidance. We evaluate PedNStream in a staged manner. Synthetic scenarios verify key crowd-dynamics mechanisms, including queue formation, spillback, congestion dissipation, and adaptive rerouting. Real-network experiments assess large-scale behavior against observed pedestrian counts. A closed-loop case study demonstrates controller integration, and a runtime analysis quantifies scalability. These results position PedNStream as an efficient and practical testbed for large-scale pedestrian network simulation and crowd management research.
