Release Notes

This release introduces a new model, deprecations, and bug fixes.

Anticipation Velocity Model (AVM)

The AVM models pedestrian anticipation in three phases:

1. Perception of the current situation.
2. Prediction of future movement.
3. Strategy selection leading to action.

By incorporating these steps, the AVM quantitatively reproduces bidirectional pedestrian flow. It accounts for:

• Anticipation of changes in neighboring pedestrians' positions.
• The strategy of following others' movement.

Deprecations

CamelCase Naming Deprecated

In our last releases several properties slipped into the release that did not follow PEP8 naming conventions, this has been corrected and the camel case style names have been deprecated.

This update also deprecates v0 in all models and replaces it with the much clearer desired_speed.

e0 renamed to desired_direction

This update also deprecates e0 in all models and replaces it with the much clearer desired_direction.
