Time-continuous microscopic pedestrian models: an overview

We give an overview of time-continuous pedestrian models with a focus on data-driven modelling. Starting from pioneer, reactive force-based models we move forward to modern, active pedestrian models with sophisticated collision-avoidance and anticipation techniques through optimisation problems. The overview focuses on the mathematical aspects of the models and their different components. We include methods used for data-based calibration of model parameters, hybrid approaches incorporating neural networks, and purely data-based models fitted by deep learning. Some development perspectives of modelling paradigms we expect to grow in the coming years are outlined in the conclusion.
