Crowd Dynamics, Volume 2

This contributed volume explores innovative research in the modeling, simulation, and control of crowd dynamics. Chapter authors approach the topic from the perspectives of mathematics, physics, engineering, and psychology, providing a comprehensive overview of the work carried out in this challenging interdisciplinary research field. After providing a critical analysis of the current state of the field and an overview of the current research perspectives, chapters focus on three main research areas: pedestrian interactions, crowd control, and multiscale modeling. Specific topics covered in this volume include:

• crowd dynamics through conservation laws
• recent developments in controlled crowd dynamics
• mixed traffic modeling
• insights and applications from crowd psychology Crowd Dynamics, Volume 2 is ideal for mathematicians, engineers, physicists, and other researchers working in therapidly growing field of modeling and simulation of human crowds.

Enriches readers' knowledge of crowd dynamics by exploring emerging research directions Illustrates the benefits of employing a multiscale approach to crowd dynamics Explores innovative research topics using a multidisciplinary approach
