The study of self-organisation of pedestrian movement at crossing is important for the design of strategies facilitating pedestrian flow in crowded areas and the mitigation of crowd-related accidents. The authors study the motion of pedestrians using a model inspired from active matter systems finding interesting phases of three interacting streams of agents, including jamming, and the emergence of a vortex state.
