Abstract: The actions that pedestrians take to reach a destination or move are always influenced by their motivation. Even though motivation has been thoroughly studied in various contexts in psychology, in the context of pedestrian dynamics, it has primarilybeen simplified as a dichotomous parameter, categorized into high and low motivation. However, to gain a comprehensive understanding of pedestrian activities and the consequent safety measures, it is crucial to thoroughly investigate the dynamics of motivation and its associated outcomes, including emotion and behavior. This involves exploring the subject in depth, as it has been studied in other contexts. Doing so will enable researchers within the field to incorporate these psychological characteristics and their relationships into the already established topics within engineering and safety fields. The primary objective of this cumulative thesis is to present recent investigations on motivation topic. To achieve this, four publications are presented (of which three have been published), each exploring motivation as an umbrella concept within pedestrian dynamics context while focusing on motivational outcomes
