Introduction The safety of humans in crowded environments has been recognised as an
important and rapidly growing research area with significant implications for urban planning …

Over the course of their wildly successful proliferation across the earth, the insects as a
taxon have evolved enviable adaptations to their diverse habitats, which include adhesives …

Many observations of the dynamics of pedestrian crowds, including various self-organization
phenomena, have been successfully described by simple many-particle models. For ethical …

Crowd evacuation of a building has been studied over the last decades. In this paper, seven
methodological approaches for crowd evacuation have been identified. These approaches …

Following the review of the experimental methods and top emerging topics, here, studies
using the field data collection methods of pedestrian dynamics (April 2017-July 2019) are …

When planning for the evacuation guidance, how to efficiently set the trained evacuation
leaders is an important problem which has great impact on the evacuation process. This …

Animal groups are said to make consensus decisions when group members come to agree
on the same option. Consensus decisions are taxonomically widespread and potentially …

We present an experimental study of a flock passing through a narrow door. Video
monitoring of daily routines in a farm has enabled us to collect a sizable amount of data. By …

Self-organizing-system approaches have shed significant light on the mechanisms
underlying synchronized movements by large groups of animals, such as shoals of fish …

Understanding human behavior in building emergencies can benefit a wide spectrum of
applications, which can ultimately contribute to the improvement of human safety in …
