Main Feature

JuPedSim offers a Python interface, to set up and conduct pedestrian dynamics simulations. With JuPedSim you can simulate small, simple layouts as bottleneck, but you can also simulate large, complex scenarios. In these complex scenarios, different crowd management measures can be modeled with built-in modules.

For simulating the pedestrian movement and interactions JuPedSim offers two different microscopic models out of the box. The Collision Free Speed Model, as the name imply a speed model. And a force model with the Generalized Centrifugal Force Model.

With JuPedSim different decisions-making processes in the agents route choice can be modeled. These routes may consist of multiple steps the agents have to complete. One step may already be completed when an agent reaches the target, but it may also only be completed when a condition like a waiting is fulfilled. After each completion one of the built-in deciders can be used to conditionally modify the agents next target.

Where to get it

It is easiest to install directly with pip from PyPi.org

pip install jupedsim
