      abstract     = {The movement and decision-making of pedestrians are
                      influenced by a complex interplay of internal and external
                      factors, such as individual behavior, social interactions,
                      and the built environment. In the context of civil
                      engineering and traffic, understanding these factors is
                      crucial for optimizing the design of buildings and transport
                      infrastructures to promote safe and efficient pedestrian
                      flow. In open spaces and crowds, these factors can shape the
                      dynamics of pedestrian movement in ways thatare not fully
                      understood, so far. This work presents a summary of the
                      efforts made to uncover the underlying structures and laws
                      that govern pedestrian dynamics, with a focus on how
                      pedestrians interact with their environment. Through a
                      combination of simulation experiments, literature review,
                      and case studies, several models for pedestrian dynamics are
                      presented, along with the ideas that motivated their
                      development and enhancement. It is shown that the
                      geometrical representation of pedestrians not only affects
                      the realism of the simulations but also shapes the nature of
                      the model itself. With a focus on practical application of
                      simulations in real-world scenarios, the importance of
                      automatic methods for validation and verification of models
                      is emphasized. Assessing the goodness of simulation results
                      and the potential for reliable prediction helps to highlight
                      the usefulness of developed models and methods for
                      addressing safety-relevant questions in pedestrian dynamics.
                      This work is particularly relevant to civil engineers,
                      transport engineers, architects and other professionals
                      involved in the design and management of multi-functional
                      buildings and crowd events. It covers the process of
                      applying models to real-world situations and using the
                      results to inform furthertheoretical development. I hope
                      that these findings and suggestions for future research will
                      be of value to researchers, practitioners, and policymakers
