Abstract
We are interested in the probability distribution P(τ) of time lags τ between moments when successive pedestrians cross a given line, e. g. a door. Recent simulations [1] within the Social Force Model [2] suggest that this distribution contain a relevant information on the mode of motion, e.g. the desired velocity. Here we report a series of measurements of  τ, supplemented by the analysis of related materials from Internet.
