We have proposed an enhancement of the traditional Social Force Model which explicitly accounts for the pedestrians’ heading. The motion of each individual is described by means of a dynamic model. Forces and torques driving the dynamics of each pedestrian are generated with the purpose of maximizing the realism of the resulting trajectories. The proposed model (called Headed Social Force Model, HSFM) features high versatility, being able to reproduce both the unicycle-like trajectories typical of people moving in open spaces and the point-wise motion patterns occurring in high density scenarios.
