Nowadays, there is an increasing number of large scale events and a growing number of people tend to participate to these events. In general, during large scale events the combination of the lack of sufficient information to support crowd management with the movements of the crowd can create not only problems on the undisturbed movements of pedestrians but also potentially dangerous situations. Despite the severity of these problematic situations, still there is limited knowledge about the behaviour of pedestrians during mass events which could support the development of a sufficient crowd management strategy. Therefore the objective of this thesis is to analyse pedestrians’ activity and route choice behaviour at mass events and examine how pedestrians make these choices using SAIL event as a case study. The analysis of pedestrians’ activity and route choice is based on Revealed Preference (RP) data.
