Abstract

In many public places, the heterogeneity of pedestrians leads to diverse travel behaviors including overtaking behavior. However, according to the variety of factors such as the heterogeneous attributes of pedestrians and the alterations of surrounding environment, the previous models for simulating overtaking behavior exist the problems of behavior loss or decision imbalance. By observing that overtaking behavior can be regarded as a process consisting of multiple micro-actions, this paper proposes a micro-action-based macro-to-micro decision-making (M3DM) framework to simulate fine-grained overtaking behavior of heterogeneous pedestrians. The framework incorporates two modules: micro-action modeling (MM) and macro-to-micro decision-making (MMDM) modules. The former module constructs the mapping relationship between proposed micro-actions and multiple personality characterization, and builds the simulation model of each micro-action. While the latter module integrates the density based macro and energy consumption based micro decision into framework, which achieves a more realistic simulation of overtaking behavior. Extensive real experiments are conducted to calibrate the parameters and verify the rationality of our framework. Moreover, two different simulation cases prove the authenticity of the proposed simulation model. The results indicate that the M3DM framework can significantly enhance the simulation accuracy of pedestrian behaviors, providing valuable insights for pedestrian flow management and safety in high-density environments.
