Abstract
This contribution discusses the application of a fast and sloppy solution of the Eikonal equation – namely the dynamic distance potential field – for the simulation of the flow of a group of pedestrian agents through two bottlenecks with different capacity (width) but identical walking distance toward the destination. It is found that using the method leads to a better distribution of agents on the two corridors.
