Multiobjective Calibration Framework for Pedestrian Simulation Models: A study on the Effect of Movement Base Cases, Metrics, and Density Levels

Table 3

Tested combination of scenarios and metrics, where the acronyms identify the metrics (i.e., Q = flow, SD = spatial distribution, Eff = effort, and TT = travel time) and the scenarios (i.e., B-H = bidirectional high, B-L = bidirectional low, B = bottleneck, C-H = corner high, C-L = corner low, T-H = T-junction high, and T-L = T-junction low).
