On the Validation of a Discrete-Continuous Model with Bottleneck Flow and Computational Artifacts

A connection of a width of a bottleneck and unidirectional virtual people flow by the discrete-continuous pedestrian movement model (Kirik et al. Fundamental diagram as a model input direct movement equation of pedestrian dynamics. In: Proceedings of the international conference pedestrian and evacuation dynamics‘2012, Zurich. Springer, 2014) is investigated. Specific and full flow rates versus bottleneck width are presented. Computational artifacts that are pronounced while simulation in front of bottleneck are discussed.
