Parameters of the model




Static floor field: The sensitivity parameter for the coupling to the static floor field is assigned to the button + kstat (increasing) and - kstat (decreasing) in the java-applets
Dynamical floor field: The sensitivity parameter for the coupling to the dynamic floor field is assigned to the button + kdyn (increasing) and - kdyn (decreasing) in the java-applets
Density: The initial particle density is controlled by the buttons + dens and - dens
Decay of the dynamic floor field: The decay of the dynamic floor field is controlled by the buttons + deathprop and - deathprop
Diffusion of the dynamic floor field: The dynamic floor field also has diffusion. It is caused by the buttons + diffprop and - diffprop
Conflicts and friction between particles: Whenever two or more particles try to enter the same lattice site, any movement is denyd with the probability fricprop. It can be changed with the two buttons + fricprop and - fricprop
Geometry parameters: The geometry of the underlying grid can be changed with the parameters Grid larger and Grid smaller (scaling of the whole size), X larger and X smaller scales only the x-coordinate of the grid), Y larger and Y smaller scales only the y-coordinate of the grid). Further the buttons b>+ door and - door and b>+ wall and - wall change the width of the exits and the width of the bottleneck of the corridor. With b>+ gap and - gap one can adjust the space between two exit doors.
Reset and stop and go: The button reset always set the configuration to time=0. The initial particles are then distributed randomly. The stop/go button stops and starts the applet at any time.
