abstract = {Several influential factors impact pedestrian movement
within crowds, making their analysis complex and
challenging. To address this, we employ a simplified system
referred to as single-file. In this system, pedestrians walk
along a narrow path without overtaking, ensuring that the
order of individuals remains constant. This setup reduces
the number of variables and allows for a focused examination
of the specific factors researchers aim to investigate in
pedestrian dynamics. Given the significance of single-file
movement in understanding complex movement behaviors, this
thesis demonstrates the importance of studying single-file
systems. Furthermore, this thesis analyzes the interaction
ranges in single-file systems by incorporating into the
speed model the influence of both the pedestrian ahead and
the one behind, taking into account their respective
distances and speeds. This novel approach, detailed in
Publications II and III, enhances the accuracy of modeling
in single-file movement. This cumulative thesis comprises
three publications aimed at investigating pedestrians’
single-file movement. Publication I provides a comprehensive
review of experiments on single-file pedestrian movement,
emphasizing its importance. The review covers the historical
background of single-file movement studies and offers
insights from human and non-human traffic systems. The
publication also elaborates on various experimental setups
and data collection methods and discusses factors
influencing pedestrian movement. Additionally, the study
introduces a new Python-based tool,
SingleFileMovementAnalysis, designed to analyze the data of
pedestrian movement, particularly head trajectories, which
helps prepare and calculate movement quantities such as
speed, density, and headway. The publication offers an
approach to experimental data analysis and suggests future
directions for research in this field. In Publication II,
the factors influencing pedestrian movement in single-file
experiments are explored. Feed-forward neural networks are
utilized to predict individual pedestrians’ speeds, using
various combinations of distances and interaction ranges
with neighboring pedestrians. Therefore, the influence of
introducing the distance behind into the speed model is
analyzed, and the predicted individual speeds using
different influential factors are evaluated and compared.
Inspired by the results from the statistical investigations
conducted in PublicationII, Publication III introduces a new
microscopic speed model that considers the relative
distances to the nearest neighbors both behind and ahead for
single-file movement. A fine-tuning of the weighted
asymmetry parameters is applied, and the stability of the
new model is analyzed. Furthermore, a numerical simulation
of one-dimensional movement evaluates the proposed model.},
