Abstract
A microscopic simulation model for pedestrian dynamics was developed. The model was made up of self-driven force, repulsive force, and pre-avoid force, which were virtual forces reflecting pedestrian's psychological characteristics and instinctive consciousness. The model was validated by both real data and simulation which indicated that the model was suitable for describing pedestrian's social characteristics under normal conditions.
