Abstract :
The application of a fundamental diagram is one
possible concept to base macroscopic models of pedestrian streams on. These
diagrams have been derived for unidirectional pedestrian flows in
restricted spatial settings like corridors and bottlenecks.
In this paper we present some ideas to possibly extend this concept to
cases of multi-directional fluxes on a plane, possibly with obstacles.
