Abstract  The single-file movement experiment offered a convenient way to investigate the one-dimensional leader-follower behavior of pedestrians. This study investigated the time delays of children pedestrians in the leader-follower behavior by introducing a time-dependent delayed speed correlation. A total of 118 German students from the fifth grade (aged 11-12 years old) and the 11th grade (aged 17-18 years old) participated the single-file experiment. The characteristic delay time for each pedestrian was identified by optimising the time-dependent delayed speed correlation. The influences of the curvature of the experimental scenario, density, age, and gender on the delay time were statistically examined. The results suggested that to a large extent, the revealed characteristic delay time was a density-dependent variable, and none of the curvatures, the age and gender of the individual, and the age and gender of the leader had a significant influence on it. The findings from this study are variable resources to understand the leader-follower behavior among children pedestrians and to build related simulation models.
