This book gathers contributions on a variety of flowing collective systems. While primarily focusing on pedestrian dynamics, they also reflect the latest developments in areas such as vehicular traffic and granular flows and address related emerging topics such as self-propelled particles, data transport, swarm behavior, intercellular transport, and collective dynamics of biological systems. Combining fundamental research and practical applications in the various fields discussed, the book offers a valuable asset for researchers and practitioners alike.

Integrates several interrelated disciplines such as granular materials, pedestrian dynamics, and vehicular traffic Covers research from a fundamental standpoint, as well as practical applications in various fields Includes contributions on related emerging topics, such as self-propelled particles and collective dynamics of biological systems Offers a comprehensive approach to problems, combining theory, simulations, and experiments
