v1.3.1

What's Changed

• fix: time_distance plot initial point by @Kilidsch in #411

Full Changelog: v1.3.0...v1.3.1

v1.3.0

New feature:

Continuity equation and fundamental diagram of pedestrians ¹ describes a new approach to compute the fundamental diagram for pedestrian dynamics. This approach uses Voronoi decomposition to allow definitions of density, speed, and flow on the basis of trajectories in accordance with the continuity equation. It also enables measurement along a line, handling different motion directions without losing velocity sign.

How to use the new method is shown in the following Jupyter-Notebook: Fundamental Diagrams at Measurement Line

Left: Voronoi decomposition, Voronoi cells which intersect with the measurement line are indicated by color. Right: Voronoi decomposition, Red and blue indicate the main movement direction.
