LEMONS: An open-source platform to generate non-circuLar, anthropometry-based pEdestrian shapes and simulate their Mechanical interactiONS in two dimensions

Abstract: We offer a collection of videos showing simulations of pedestrian crowds made with the LEMONS software. LEMONS is an open-source computational tool designed for modelling dense crowds. The platform features an intuitive online interface, enabling users to generate 2D and 3D pedestrian crowds based on anthropometric data. Additionally, it features a C++ library that computes mechanical contacts with other agents and obstacles, and evolves the crowd's configuration. Both the online platform and the library can readily be called from Python scripts, providing users with complete flexibility to implement their own decision-making models, such as specifying the desired velocities of individuals within the crowd.__Documentation is also provided.
