abstract = {Pushing behavior impairs people’s sense of well-being in
a crowd and represents a significant safety risk. There are
nevertheless still a lot of unanswered questions about who
behaves how in a crowded situation, and when, where, and why
pushing behavior occurs. Beginning from the supposition that
a crowd is not thoroughly homogenous and that behavior can
change over time, we developed a method to observe and rate
forward motion. Based on the guidelines of quantitative
content analysis, we came up with four categories: (1)
falling behind, (2) just walking, (3) mild pushing, and (4)
strong pushing. These categories allow for the
classification of the behavior of any person at any time in
a video, and thereby the method allows for a comprehensive
systematization of individuals’ actions alongside temporal
crowd dynamics. The application of this method involves
videos of moving crowds including trajectories. The initial
results show a very good inter-coder reliability between two
trained raters demonstrating the general suitability of the
system to describe forward motion in crowds systematically
and quantify it for further analysis. In this way, pushing
behavior can be better understood and, prospectively, risks
better identified. This article offers a comprehensive
presentation of this method of observation.},
