We propose a two-dimensional cellular automaton model to simulate pedestrian traffic. It is a v max=1 model with exclusion statistics and parallel dynamics. Long-range interactions between the pedestrians are mediated by a so-called floor field which modifies the transition rates to neighbouring cel...
