abstract = {The dynamics of pedestrians are normally controlled and
influenced by several factors that shape the flow, velocity,
and density of various pedestrian groups. Some of these
factors are related to pedestrian compositions. Over the
past few years, several experimental studies have been
conducted to identify and understand the impact of such
factors on pedestrian movement characteristics. Among the
most important experiments have been carried out in an
attempt to investigate the dynamics of pedestrians in narrow
corridors with closed boundary conditions. The advantage of
this simplified set-up is the ease to control the density,
which enables studying the so-called Fundamental Diagram
(density-velocity relation, FD) in a controlled and
consistent manner. The goal of this research is to
investigatethe physical movement characteristics of
Palestinian pedestrians using the density-velocity,
velocity-headway, and density-headway relations for
single-file movement experiments conducted with an emphasis
on various gender compositions. We compared the experiment
findings against similar experiments that have been
conducted in other cultures, namely in Germany and India.
Moreover, we perform a comparative analysis concerning the
age factor, by comparing our results with two types of
experiments that have been conducted in China: young, and
old pedestrians. After identifying the factors that control
the dynamics of pedestrians, we used them to investigate the
impact of each factor on the movement decisions and further
predict future movement characteristics using artificial
neural networks. Our proposed model precisely forecasts
future velocities and headway distances for various
pedestrian compositions and densities for single-file
movement experiments. The proposed prediction model was
validated using two trajectory datasets from Palestine and
China.},
