Pedestrian movement trajectories and collision avoidance strategies in interweaving pedestrian flow experiment

The mechanisms of Collision Avoidance(CA) behaviors in interweaving pedestrian flow movements are important for pedestrian space planning and emergency management but not well understood yet. A series of controlled interweaving pedestrian flow experiments with different pedestrian flow densities are carried out to investigate the CA behaviors, especially CA strategy choices. This dataset consists the movement trajectory and the CA strategy choices information of the participants in the experiment and was provided as a supplementary material of a journal paper submitted to “Royal Society Open Science”.
All these experiments were conducted in an outdoor public square in the campus of Wuhan University of Technology. A total of 40 students aged 18-23 years participated these experiments. The experiment includes three “groups”, representing low, medium and high density levels of interweaving pedestrian flow. Each group of experiment was repeated three times to increase the reliability of the...
