The interest in crowd modeling stems from the need to predict pedestrian flow based on current conditions and pedestrians' interaction within the crowd. Therefore, understanding the walking dynamics of pedestrians in a crowd is essential to modeling and simulating the pedestrian flow. Here, we study the effect of the geometry of location, different flow conditions, and sociodemographic characteristics on the pedestrians' walking speed in a crowd. Further, appropriate statistical tests are used to check for differences in the mean speed of pedestrians across different groups obtained by social categorization. Surprisingly, the mean speeds are not considerably different in road sections with pervious boundaries. A comparison of the mean speed of pedestrians in the field vs experimental setups indicates that there is a significant difference in the mean speed of pedestrians in the two environments. These insights can be used to model the pedestrian flow in mass gatherings more realistically.
