Pedestrian simulation is a challenging and fruitful application area for agent-based modeling and simulation in the traffic and transportation domain. In this paper the authors will present the concepts and results of a particular project study: an agent-based simulation of pedestrian traffic of the complete railway station of Bern during the most busy morning hours. Overall more than 40 000 agents are passing through during 1.5 virtual hours. Going beyond traditional approaches for microscopic pedestrian simulation, the authors' simulated pedestrians are not only capable of moving without collisions between two pre-defined locations, but are able to flexibly plan and re-plan their way through the railway station. A short glance and some discussion about the potential of agentbased pedestrian simulation closes this contribution.
