Abstract: A brief overview of mathematical modeling of pedestrian dynamics is presented. Hereby, we focus on space-continuous models which include interactions between the pedestrian by forces. Conceptual problems of such models are addressed. Side-effects of spatially continuous force-based models, especially oscillations and overlapping which occur for erroneous choices of the forces, are analyzed in a quantitative manner. As a representative example of force-based models the Generalized Centrifugal Force Model (GCFM) is introduced. Key components of the model are presented and discussed. Finally, simulations with the GCFM in corridors and bottlenecks are shown and compared with experimental data.
