Each data point represents an ensemble of 100 simulations in which 100 total agents were emitted. In the left panel, all 100 agents moved with the same fixed speed of 0.75 cm per time step. On the right, each agent’s speed was set to either 0.75 cm per time step (with probability 0.75) or 0.5 cm per time step (with probability 0.25). The base emission rate agents per time step, and the curves, from bottom to top, represent emission rates of , , , and .</p> 2026-10-01T17:50:38Z Image Figure 10.1371/journal.pcsy.0000136.g006 https://figshare.com/articles/figure/_p_Effective_mean_crossing_times_vs_waiting_probability_p_/34049570 CC BY 4.0
