We study the unidirectional flow of a binary mixture of biased-random walkers on a square lattice under a periodic boundary. The lattice-gas mixture consists of two types of slender particles (walkers) which have different biases (drift coefficients). When the density is higher than a critical...

Counterflow of students going on all fours is investigated by experiment and simulation. The experiment is performed for the channel with open boundaries. Two types of students going to the right and to the left are taken into account. The video recordings and measurements of individual arrival...

We study the behavior of walkers sidling through the crowd in the counter flow of pedestrian. When a walker enters the crowd, he turns himself sidelong to avoid a collision and edge through the crowd. The biased random walk model is extended to take into account the sidle effect. We present...

Evacuation processes of walkers (pedestrians) and crawlers are investigated by experiment and simulation. The experiments are performed for walkers and crawlers evacuating from the corridor (channel) with an exit. All students go on all fours in the evacuation experiment of crawlers. The video...

We study the escape-time distribution of crowd in the evacuation process through an exit from a hall. The evacuation process is simulated by the use of the lattice-gas model of pedestrian. The spatio-temporal distribution of escape time is derived. The escape time of a person depends highly on...

A mean-field model is presented to mimic the pedestrian channel flow with a bottleneck. The pedestrian flow is described by the mean-field rate equation on the square lattice. The dynamical transition from the free flow to the choking flow is studied by carrying out a numerical simulation for...

We study the freezing transition in the counter flow of pedestrians within the channel numerically and analytically. We present the mean-field approximation (MFA) model for the pedestrian counter flow. The model is described in terms of a couple of nonlinear difference equations. The...

The merging flow model without a bottleneck is presented to mimic the pedestrian channel flow with a meeting point. Two channel flows in front of the meeting point interact one another when the exit density is higher than the maximal-current density. The distinct phase transition occurs by...

Pedestrian counter flow is investigated by experiment and simulation. The experiment is performed for the channel with open boundaries. Two types of walkers, going to the right and to the left, are taken into account. The video recordings and measurements of individual arrival times are...

We study the unidirectional flow of mobile objects through obstacles on a square lattice. Two models are presented: one is the lattice gas model consisting of translational particles and the other is that of turning particles. Fundamental diagrams for the two models are presented. The traffic...
