The behavior of pedestrians shows certain regularities, which can be described by quantitative (partly stochastic) models. The models are based on the behavior of individual pedestrians, which depends on the pedestrian intentions and on the…
This paper presents a new approach to behavioral-social dynamics of pedestrian crowds by suitable development of methods of the kinetic theory. It is shown how heterogeneous individual behaviors can modify the collective dynamics, as well…
In this paper we devise a microscopic (agent-based) mathematical model for reproducing crowd behaviour in a specific scenario: a number of pedestrians, consisting of numerous social groups, flow along a corridor until a gate located at the…
Asymptotic analysis of the Hele-Shaw flow with a small moving obstacle is performed. The method of solution utilises the uniform asymptotic formulas for Green's and Neumann functions recently obtained by V. Maz'ya and A. Movchan.…
We discuss numerical strategies to deal with PDE systems describing traffic flows, taking into account a density threshold, which restricts the vehicles density in the situation of congestion. These models are obtained through asymptotic…
Ultra-dense crowds, in which physical contact between people cannot be avoided, pose major safety concerns. Nevertheless, the underlying dynamics driving their collective behaviours remain poorly understood. Existing dense crowd models,…
We discuss the control of a human crowd whose dynamics is governed by a regularized version of Hughes' model, cf. Hughes: A continuum theory for the flow of pedestrians. Transportation research part B: methodological, 36 (2002). We assume…
In our urbanised societies, the management and regulation of traffic and pedestrian flows is of considerable interest for public safety, economic development, and the conservation of the environment. However, modelling and controlling the…
We consider the Follow-The-Leader approximation of the Aw-Rascle-Zhang (ARZ) model for traffic flow in a multi-population formulation. We prove rigorous convergence to weak solutions of the ARZ system in the many particle limit in presence…
In this paper a rigorous proof of the mean field limit for a pedestrian flow model in two dimensions is given by using a probabilistic method. The model under investigation is an interacting particle system coupled to the eikonal equation…
This paper introduces a system of stochastic differential equations (SDE) of mean-field type that models pedestrian motion. The system lets the pedestrians spend time at, and move along, walls, by means of sticky boundaries and boundary…
We review recent results and present new ones on a deterministic follow-the-leader particle approximation of first and second order models for traffic flow and pedestrian movements. We start by constructing the particle scheme for the first…
Quantitatively modeling the trajectories and behavior of pedestrians walking in crowds is an outstanding fundamental challenge deeply connected with the physics of flowing active matter, from a scientific point of view, and having societal…
This article is devoted to questions concerning the existence of solutions for partial differential equation problems modeling granular flows. The models studied take into account the complex threshold rheology of these flows, as well as…
Since the beginning of the century, capturing trajectories of pedestrian streams precisely from video recordings has been possible. To enable measurements at high density, the heads of the pedestrians are marked and tracked, thus providing…
This paper deals with the early results of a new model of pedestrian flow, conceived within a measure-theoretical framework. The modeling approach consists in a discrete-time Eulerian macroscopic representation of the system via a family of…
In the spirit of the macroscopic crowd motion models with hard congestion (i.e. a strong density constraint $\rho\leq 1$) introduced by Maury {\it et al.} some years ago, we analyze a variant of the same models where diffusion of the agents…
An universal primal-dual approach of description equilibriums in large class of hierarchical congestion population games is proposed. At the very core of the approach is hierarchy of enclosed to each other transport networks. In different…
A framework is proposed in this paper that is used to segment flow of dense crowds. The flow field that is generated by the movement in the crowd is treated just like an aperiodic dynamic system. On this flow field a grid of particles is…
Physics-based optical flow models have been successful in capturing the deformities in fluid motion arising from digital imagery. However, a common theoretical framework analyzing several physics-based models is missing. In this regard, we…
