This paper aims to mimic the herd behavior of pedestrian flow, i.e., the tendency towards majority when a congestion occurs, by macroscopic modeling approach. The macroscopic pedestrian simulation model is composed of a mass-conservation equation and a simple model to reflect behavioral characteristics of pedestrians based on a specific traffic situation. Numerical experiments are designed to show some preliminary results, e.g. the beneficial effect of herding on evacuation time in some situations.
