title = "The Impact of Walking Speed Heterogeneity on the Pedestrian Fundamental Diagram",
abstract = "Most works featuring the capacity of pedestrian infrastructures have focussed on unidirectional movement base cases, studied relatively low-density situations and instructed their participants to behave {\textquoteleft}normal{\textquoteright}. However, during large crowd movements at train stations and events often far higher densities are encountered, the flow situations are more complex, and pedestrians do not always behave {\textquoteleft}normal{\textquoteright}. The objective of this study is to determine the impact of heterogeneity in walking speed and the flow situation on the global and local dynamics of the crowd. A large pedestrian experiment was performed by Delft University of Technology, coined CrowdLimits, to derive the answer to this question. A preliminary analysis of the participants{\textquoteright} movements illustrates that especially the introduction of differences in walking speed and distribution between flows influence the shape fundamental diagram.",
