In the present paper scalar macroscopic models for traffic and pedestrian flows are coupled and the resulting system is investigated numerically. For the traffic flow the classical
Lighthill-Whitham model on a network of roads and for the pedestrian flow the Hughes
model are used. These models are coupled via terms in the fundamental diagrams mod-
eling an influence of the traffic and pedestrian flow on the maximal velocities of the
corresponding models. Several physical situations, where pedestrians and cars interact,
are investigated.
