Pedestrian movement has different quantities, e.g. densities and walking velocities. But these quantities can only be measured during a dynamic process of movement, thus they are depending on each other. But an important point is: How do people start walking? In this contribution it will be shown how fast people start walking and how this process is influenced by the initial density. Furthermore the velocity of the start wave moving through the group of pedestrians is determined.
