abstract="The normative theory of pedestrian flow behavior presented here is based on the assumption that pedestrians are expected cost minimizers: they schedule their activities, choose the activity areas and the routes connecting these activity areas simultaneously to maximize the expected utility of their efforts. Unlike other transportation network models, pedestrian routes are continuous functions in time and space, and the utility of the route reflects a trade off between the utility of completing an activity and the generalized cost of walking towards the activity areas. The paper also considers the consequences of information feedback, e.g. pedestrians see that their planned route is congested and react by taking another route.<p />",
