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.
