About the Conference

The continuously growing number of events with hundreds to thousands of visitors, the increasing complexity of the built environment - faced with on-going growth of pedestrian movement - and the need to be prepared to handle more and more complex incident scenarios of fire, terrorism, and large-scale community disasters give reason to focus on the understanding of the behaviour of humans as pedestrians and also evacuation dynamics. The aim is to provide answers for policy makers, planners, designers, and emergency management to solve real world problems in this rapidly developing field.

The Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics (PED) conference will address both pedestrian and evacuation dynamics. A better understanding of human behaviour is the key to planning and management of pedestrian flows. A limited view from only one perspective or from one planning discipline respectively seems not to be promising for resolving the problems due to the advancing level of complexity. Furthermore a link is needed from research to practice to become aware of problems on the one hand and methods and tools on the other hand.

The PED conference is the place to present research results, practical experiences, real world problems and to communicate and discuss between/beyond disciplines.

PED 2012 will be the sixth edition of this successful conference series that started in Duisburg, Germany in 2001. Previous conferences had also been held in Greenwich, UK (2003), Vienna, Austria (2005), Wuppertal, Germany (2008) and Gaithersburg, USA (2010).

Information for Authors

The conference proceedings will include written contributions of poster and oral presentations as well as keynote talks. All papers are due 11 May 2012.

Layout guidelines for papers, posters, oral presentations and keynotes

To allow easy editing, all papers should be prepared in MS Word format according to the proceedings layout guidelines. Different MS Word templates are provided by Springer:

Please adhere to the following requirements considering the number of pages for each paper:

The number of pages includes summary, figures and references.

How to submit your paper?

To upload your full paper for the PED 2012 proceedings, please use the following link. You will then be re-directed to the official ETH paper handling system called Evento. After having created your Evento user account and provided your contact information, you will then receive a password by e-mail to access your account. The same account can also be used to register as a delegate.
For the paper upload the file size guideline is 4 MB.

Files for oral presentations

Delegates who give an oral presentation at the conference, should bring their presentation file - preferably MS PowerPoint (or Apple Keynote) plus a PDF version as backup - to the Welcome Reception on June 5th. Delegates who are not able to attend the Welcome Reception, are kindly asked to deliver their files at the registration desk on June 6th from 7:30h to 8:30h. All the presentations are going to be stored on the computers (Mac OS 10.7.4, MS Office 2011, Keynote (iWork '09)) that are exclusively reserved for that purpose. There will be no exchange of delegate's laptops going on between each talk during the parallel sessions. Guideline for length of presentation: 18' talk + 5' questions.

Poster requirements

There are no specific layout requirements for posters except that they must be in portrait format, not landscape.The corresponding short papers (8 pages) must be prepared according to the guidelines mentioned above. Maximum paper size for each poster is A0 format which equals 841mm x 1189 mm or approx. 33" x 47". (Please respect this maximum size because two posters are going to share one movable wall at a time.) Posters can be attached to the wooden walls by using pushpins, starting June 5th at 17:00h and June 6th at 7:30h. Volunteers will be present at the poster exhibition area to help you.
