Modeling Perception And Overtaking Behavior For Crowd Dynamics Using Modified Social Force Model

The Social Force Model (SFM) is one of the most popular models to describe the motion of pedestrians as it is able to simulate the behavior of pedestrians using simple mathematical equations. Many modifications have been done to improve the SFM such as the incorporation of the self-slowing mechan...
