abstract = {The relation between speed and density is connected with
every self-organization phenomenon of pedestrian dynamics
and offers the opportunity to analyze them quantitatively.
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.},
