Abstract

This paper introduces the first experiments of an innovative approach to the modeling and simulation of crowds of pedestrians considering the presence of groups as a crucial element influencing overall system dynamics. In-silico experimental results are discussed in relation to in-vitro experiments (experimental observations on the movement of pedestrians and groups).
