But even for the simplest systems, like pedestrian streams in corridors, this fundamental relation is not completely understood. A comparison of data from literature shows that specifications in text books as well as measurements under various experimental conditions differ significantly. In this contribution it is studied whether cultural influences and length of the corridor can be the causes for these deviations. To reduce as much as possible unintentional effects, a system is chosen with reduced degrees of freedom and thus the most simple system, namely the movement of pedestrians along a line under closed boundary conditions. It is found that the speed of Indian test persons is less dependent on density than the speed of German test persons. Surprisingly the more unordered behavior of the Indians is more effective than the ordered behavior of the Germans. This may be due to differences in their self-organization behavior. Without any statistical measure one cannot conclude about whether there are differences or not. By hypothesis test it is found quantitatively that these differences exist, suggesting cultural differences in the fundamental diagram of pedestrians. 000005465 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK411$$2G:(DE-HGF)$$aScientific Computing$$cP41$$x0 000005465 588__ $$aDataset connected to Web of Science 000005465 65320 $$2Author$$aPedestrian traffic 000005465 65320 $$2Author$$acrowd dynamics 000005465 65320 $$2Author$$afundamental diagram 000005465 650_7 $$2WoSType$$aJ 000005465 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)132266$$aSeyfried, A.$$b1$$uFZJ 000005465 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aChakroborty, P.$$b2 000005465 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2085391-9$$a10.1142/S0219525909002209$$gVol. 12, p. 393 - 405$$p393 - 405$$q12<393 - 405$$tAdvances in complex systems$$v12$$x0219-5259$$y2009 000005465 8567_ $$uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1142/S0219525909002209 000005465 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:5465$$pVDB 000005465 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0010$$aJCR/ISI refereed 000005465 9141_ $$y2009 000005465 9131_ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK411$$aDE-HGF$$bSchlüsseltechnologien$$kP41$$lSupercomputing$$vScientific Computing$$x0 000005465 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)JSC-20090406$$gJSC$$kJSC$$lJülich Supercomputing Centre$$x0 000005465 970__ $$aVDB:(DE-Juel1)113025 000005465 980__ $$aVDB 000005465 980__ $$aConvertedRecord 000005465 980__ $$ajournal 000005465 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)JSC-20090406 000005465 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
