Mass leisure gatherings have a huge chance of creating a disaster due to a lack of proper infrastructural support, proper exit points, sufficient width for walking, proper knowledge of the overall crowded place and poor crowd management systems. Therefore, for a proper crowd management system, a detailed analysis of different crowd profiles, pedestrians’ behaviors, obstacles hindering the path of pedestrians, effects of the opposing pedestrian interaction, the delay time, and change of speed due to several hindrances are needed to culminate. This paper aims at identifying factors and their effects on the change in the speed of pedestrians during important religious gatherings in India. From the study, it is seen that density, flow in opposite direction, and the number of people stopping on the road causes a decrease in the speed of pedestrians. The results from this study can be used for better representation of pedestrians in microscopic simulation models in different scenarios which can be used for planning purposes of pedestrian prioritized streets.
