Analysis methods for individualised fundamental diagrams 
In my dissertation, I develop individualised fundamental diagrams for researching the impact of individual factors and whether there are individual specific movement characteristics. In addition, I investigate the influence of different factors on velocity by using multivariate analysis and mixed models. Based on the established methods in single-file experiments, I analyse more complex flows of pedestrians as they occur in bi- or multidirectional experiments.
Parts of my work:
- Development of individualised fundamental diagrams
- Autocorrelation as a condition for the regression analysis
- Investigation of the influence of various factors on velocity by using multivariate analysis and mixed models
- Highlighting gender differences and similarities in pedestrian flows
- Transfer of established methods to multidirectional pedestrian flows
- Methods from network analysis for the classification and analysis of neighbouring pedestrians
- Identification of pushing and non-pushing people
The following experiments will be investigated:
- Single-file school experiments
- Bi- and multidirectional experiments
