Modeling Collision Avoidance Behavior With Zero-Speed Pedestrians | IEEE Journals & Magazine | IEEE Xplore

In this paper, we present an improved collision avoidance algorithm conceived to deal with zero-speed pedestrians in a crowd. A zero-speed pedestrian is a pedestrian who stops for a short, undefined period to rest, use a phone, or communicate with others, and then resumes walking later. Zero-speed pedestrians can be encountered in places such as shopping centers, sidewalks with retail stores, or public gatherings. When integrated into a crowd simulation, zero-speed pedestrians can cause blockages, particularly livelocks, as observed when using the Optimal Reciprocal Collision Avoidance (ORCA) algorithm.....
