Abstract
Reliability of many pedestrian modelling and simulation tools is questionable, particularly when used to simulate pedestrian walking behaviors associated with complex geometries such as angled walkways. It is uncertain that existing modeling approaches adequately capture microscopic walking behaviors associated with turning movements with regards to trajectories,speed profiles and acceleration/deceleration patterns. This paper presents preliminary results of a modelling framework that is based on comprehensive experimental data for pedestrian walking behaviors through angled corridors. Numerical simulations indicate that this model reproduces more accurate pedestrian walking behaviors through angled corridors compared to existing approaches.
