      abstract     = {This dissertation investigates force-based modeling of
                      pedestrian dynamics. Having the quantitative validation of
                      mathematical models in focus principle questions will be
                      addressed throughout this work: Is it manageable to describe
                      pedestrian dynamics solely with the equations of motion
                      derived from the Newtonian dynamics? On the road to giving
                      answers to this question we investigate the consequences and
                      side-effects of completing a force-based model with
                      additional rules and imposing restrictions on the state
                      variables. Another important issue is the representation of
                      modeled pedestrians. Does the geometrical shape of a two
                      dimensional projection of the human body matter when
                      modeling pedestrian movement? If yes which form is most
                      suitable? This point is investigated in the second part
                      while introducing a new force-based model. Moreover, we
                      highlight a frequently underestimated aspect in force-based
                      modeling which is to what extent the steering of pedestrians
                      influences their dynamics? In the third part we introduce
                      four possible strategies to define the desired direction of
                      each pedestrian when moving in a facility. Finally, the
                      effects of the aforementioned approaches are discussed by
                      means of numerical tests in different geometries with one
                      set of model parameters. Furthermore, the validation of the
                      developed model is questioned by comparing simulation
                      results with empirical data.},
