Large-scale crowd management requires pedestrian simulations that are both computationally efficient and compatible with feedback-based control. However, most open-source tools are either microscopic or not designed for network-scale closed-loop evaluation. This paper presents PedNStream (Pedestrian Network Flow Simulation), an open-source, Python-native simulator for macroscopic pedestrian network loading based on the Link Transmission Model (LTM). The framework extends LTM-based pedestrian models by incorporating stochastic link dynamics that capture diffusion and activity-induced variability, and replaces dynamic user equilibrium route choice with a utility-based formulation suited to uncertain, intervention-driven settings. PedNStream is implemented as a modular framework with built-in controller interfaces for interventions such as gating, flow separation, and route guidance. We evaluate the framework in a staged manner. Synthetic scenarios verify key mechanisms, including queue formation, spillback, congestion dissipation, and adaptive rerouting. Real-network experiments assess large-scale behavior and consistency with observed pedestrian counts. A closed-loop case study demonstrates controller integration, and a runtime analysis quantifies scalability. These results establish PedNStream as an efficient and practical testbed for large-scale pedestrian network simulation and control.
