Abstract
Models that link human behaviour to the way paths are formed provide excellent predictions of path geometry. In principle, such models can be extended to urban areas, and used to help understand how space affects such phenomena as crime, congestion and pollution.

A model of pedestrian motion is developed that takes into account pedestrian motion and orientation and the concomitant feedbacks with the surrounding environment and is able to reproduce many of the observed large-scale spatial features of trail systems.
