From: Mechanical response of dense pedestrian crowds to the crossing of intruders
Density profiles along the ‘streamline’ x = 0 in fairly dense crowds (\(\bar{\rho }\approx 3.5\) ped/m²); the result for participants facing the intruder (light blue, x9) is compared with its counterpart for randomly oriented participants (dark blue, x9). The error bars represent the standard deviation over all similar crossings and the dashed red lines delimit the portion of space occupied by the intruder.
