On the Interplay between Behavioral Dynamics and Social Interactions in Human Crowds

Physics and Society 2017-09-21 v1 Dynamical Systems

Abstract

This paper provides an overview and critical analysis on the modeling and applications of the dynamics of human crowds, where social interactions can have an important influence on the behavioral dynamics of the crowd viewed as a living, hence complex, system. The analysis looks at real physical situations where safety problems might arise in some specific circumstances. The approach is based on the methods of the kinetic theory of active particles. Computational applications enlighten the role of human behaviors.
