The authors provide an analysis of the pedestrian flow model introduced in 2002 by R. L. Hughes. This is described by a certain partial differential equation which describes the density of the population at any given point within a bounded domain in \(\mathbb R^d\) and at any given time. They show the existence and uniqueness of the solution of this differential equation. Furthermore, they provide numerical simulations related to their results.
