Abstract: This thesis describes the development of a multiuser platform for virtual experiments in pedestrian dynamics. Real life experiments in pedestrian dynamics are conducted to understand the behavior of large crowds and improve safety facilities in buildings and large-scale events. Since these experiments are high in costs and effort, experiments are also conducted in virtual environments. The goal of the multiuser platform is to mitigate the problems of past virtual experiments. Its main feature is that all pedestrians connect to the same virtual experiment over a network. This means that all pedestrians in the virtual experiment are controlled by experiment participants instead of some pedestrians being controlled by the computer. Another advantage is that virtual pedestrians can be exposed to dangerous situations such as fire, which is not possible in real life experiments. The thesis describes development and the prototype application in detail.
