      abstract     = {Increasing number of visitors at large-scale events
                      combined with the increasing complexity of modern buildings
                      set a major challenge for planners, operators and emergency
                      services. Examples include multi-purpose arenas, large
                      railway stations and airports. In this dissertation the use
                      of modern parallel hardware in combination with optimised
                      algorithms are for the first time used on site to speed up
                      the simulation of large crowds. The aim is to perform
                      real-time forecasts of pedestrian traffic. For this purpose,
                      special neighbourhood lists and a two-stage hybrid
                      parallelisation are used. The second part of this
                      dissertation deals with route choice in complex structures,
                      which plays an important role in achieving realistic
                      computer simulations of pedestrian flows. The developed
                      route choice process is based on visibility and perception
                      of the local environment by the simulated agents. It has as
                      basis a navigation graph. The generation of the graph,
                      especially in complex structures, has also been performed
                      within the framework of this thesis. The work is closed with
                      an empirical study in which the route choice profiles of
                      spectators during various football games and concert
                      performances are analysed and compared with the proposed
                      model. The runtime optimisation strategies and route choice
                      algorithms have been successfully tested in the ESPRIT arena
                      in Düsseldorf (Germany), where they have been integrated in
                      an evacuation assistant. Keywords: pedestrian dynamics,
                      route choice, evacuation, high performance computing.},
