First, we introduce the main physical quantities characterizing the properties of a homogeneous crowd. A brief summary of some important empirical findings is given. Finally, we discuss the properties of microscopic pedestrian models. Different classifications of the models are proposed. We emphasize the relevance of empirical results and show how they can be used for validation and calibration.
