  One of the objectives of the pedestrian analysis is to evaluate the effects
of proposed policy on the pedestrian facilities before its implementation. The
implementation of a policy without pedestrian analysis might lead to a very
costly trial and error due to the implementation cost (i.e. user cost,
construction time and cost, etc.). On the other hand, using good analysis
tools, the trial and error of policy could be done in the analysis level. Once
the analysis could prove a good performance, the implementation of the policy
is straightforward. The problem is how to evaluate the impact of the policy
quantitatively toward the behavior of pedestrians before its implementation.
Since the interaction of pedestrians cannot be well address using a macroscopic
level of analysis, a microscopic level of analysis is the choice. However, the
analytical solution of the microscopic pedestrian model is very difficult and
simulation models are more practical approach. To evaluate the impact of the
policy quantitatively toward the behavior of pedestrians before its
implementation, a microscopic pedestrian simulation model was developed. The
model was based on physical forces, which work upon each pedestrian
dynamically. To demonstrate the numerical analysis of the model, an
experimental policy on pedestrian crossing was performed. The simulation
results showed that the keep right policy or the lane-like segregation policy
is inclined to be superior to do minimum or mix-lane policy in terms of average
speed, average delay and dissipation time.
