# Pedestrian Simulator
| 
ROS packages for a 2D pedestrian simulator based on social force
model of [Helbing et. al](http://arxiv.org/pdf/cond-mat/9805244.pdf). The implementation is based on an extended version of Christian Gloor's [libpedsim](http://pedsim.silmaril.org/) library which has been extended to include additional behaviors and activities. This packages is useful for robot navigation experiments with crowded scenes which are hard to acquire in practice.
### Features
- Individual walking using social force model for very large crowds in real time
- Group walking using the extended social force model
- Social activities simulation
- Sensors simulation (point clouds in robot frame for people and walls)
- XML based scene design
- Extensive visualization using Rviz
- Option to connect with gazebo for physics reasoning
### Requirements
- ROS with the visualization stack (currently tested on `hydro`, `indigo`, `kinetic` ). For melodic, see the branch `melodic-dev`
- C++11 compiler
### Installation
The default version is now `melodic`. For kinetic please check out the branch `kinetic` which still depends on Qt4.
```
cd [workspace]/src
git clone https://github.com/srl-freiburg/pedsim_ros.git
cd pedsim_ros
git submodule update --init --recursive
cd ../..
catkin build -c # or catkin_make
```
### Sample usage
```
roslaunch pedsim_simulator simple_pedestrians.launch
```
