What is Lane Formation Behavior

Chapter 6
Handbook of Research on Design, Control, and Modeling of Swarm Robotics
When pedestrians move in opposite directions, they self-organize to form a lane for each direction. These two lanes of pedestrians appear so perfectly organized. In the reality, there is not a prior agreement between individuals to organize the group's activities and improve the ride comfort of all. This organization helps to reduce pedestrian collisions and increase speed.

Abstract
The swarm behavior of pedestrians in a crowd, generally, causes a global pattern to emerge. A pedestrian crowd simulation system must have this emergence in order to prove its effectiveness. For this reason, the aim of this work is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the PHuNAC model (Personalities' Human's Nature of Autonomous Crowds) and also prove that the swarm behavior of pedestrians' agents in this model allows the emergence of these global patterns. In order to validate the approach of this work, the authors compared the simulation system with real data. The conducted experiments show that the model is consistent with the various emergent behaviors and thus it provides realistic simulated pedestrian's behavior.
