Each year, crowd disasters happen in different areas of the world. How and why do such
disasters happen? Are the fatalities caused by relentless behavior of people or a …

Many observations of pedestrian dynamics, including various self-organization phenomena,
have been reproduced successfully by different models. But the empirical databases for …

For the proper understanding and modelling of pedestrian dynamics, reliable empirical data
are necessary for analysis and verification. To this end, we have performed a series of …

Force-based models describe the interactions of pedestrians in terms of physical and social
forces. We discuss some intrinsic problems of this approach, like penetration of particles …

Humans use social information to improve their decisions in scenarios that involve
uncertainty. Previous research has shown that this social influence can have positive or …

Presently, the negative results of a pandemic loom in a threatening manner on an
international scale. Facilities such as airports have contributed significantly to the global …

The congregation of crowd undoubtedly constitutes an important risk factor, which may
endanger the safety of the gathered people. The solution reported against this significant …

Evacuation research shows growing interest in human factors and psychology. Before,
humans were mostly modelled as homogeneous, without individual emotion, motivation or …

The current status of empirical results for pedestrian dynamics is reviewd. Suprisingly even
for basic quantities like the flow-density relation there is currently no consensus since the …

Recent advances in modeling and control of crowd of pedestrians are briefly surveyed in this
paper. Possibilities of applying fractional calculus in the modeling of crowd of pedestrians …
