inefficient resolution of large jams in striping model
pedestrians use a similar mechanism to vehicles based on waiting time: once a blocked pedestrian exceeds a waiting time threshold it starts to "ghost" through the blocking pedestrians but moves with 1/4 of it's speed.
However, as soon as the first pedestrians starts moving, the waiting time of pedestrians behind is reset.
Whereas in vehicular jams, often a single vehicle is responsible and the jam resolves once this vehicle is moved (teleported), pedestrian jams typically do not resolve after moving a single person.
Proposal: Group ghosting for all people within a range of waiting times on the same edge.
