Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics 2025
Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics (PED) is an international conference which is held every two years with an international participation of scientists, practitioners and representatives of authorities, and welcomes contributions from physics, mathematics, engineering, computer science and vision, psychology, and sociology, as well as contributions from practitioners.
The 12th edition of Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics was held in 2025 at Czech Technical University in Prague in Czechia. The conference took place from 9 to 12 September 2025 with the first day dedicated to PhD Workshop and was organized in cooperation of the Faculty of Information Technology and Faculty of Civil Engineering.
138 researchers from 19 countries participated at the conference discussing over 60 oral and 41 poster presentations, from which 42 were transformed to contributions in these proceedings.
The organizers gratefully acknowledge the financial support from sponsorship by Thunderhead Engineering, institutional support by both faculties, and organizational support by Academic and Medical Conference Agency.
The conference key topics were following:
- Experiments and data acquisition
- Statistical evaluation and fundamental aspects of pedestrian flow
- Fire safety and safety aspects
- Psychological and behavioral aspects
- Model development, calibration and validation
- Simulation studies
- Applications and crowd management
- Machine learning, computer vision, and VR research in pedestrian dynamics
