* ABSTRACT
Walking is a fundamental activity of human life, not only for moving between places but also for interacting with surrounding environments. While walking to destinations, pedestrians may acquaint themselves with attractions such as artworks, shop displays, and public events. If such attractions are tempting enough, pedestrians opt to stop walking to join the attractions. Although the existence of attractions may considerably affect the pedestrian flow patterns, little attention has been paid to the interactions between pedestrians and attractions, and their impacts on pedestrian traffic.
In this presentation, I would like to present my dissertation research on collective behavior of pedestrian motions interacting with attractions. In the beginning, I introduce the social force model which was extended in my research. Then I present two possible approaches of modeling attractive interactions between pedestrians and attractions. After presenting the approaches, I will show the numerical simulation results of the presented approaches with phase diagrams. In the end, I would like to discuss about limitations and possible future work of the presented approaches
