Crowd Dynamics, Volume 2

Researchers who study how large groups of people move, and how that movement can be modeled, simulated and controlled, present their work in this collection. Contributors approach the subject from the standpoints of mathematics, physics, engineering and psychology. Together they assess the present state of the field and outline the directions current research is taking.

The chapters concentrate on three areas: how pedestrians interact with one another, how crowds can be managed, and how modeling can be carried out across multiple scales.

The volume is aimed at mathematicians, engineers, physicists and other researchers working on the modeling and simulation of human crowds, a field that is expanding quickly.
