TL;DR: This paper presents a review and critical analysis on the modeling of the dynamics of vehicular traffic, human crowds and swarms seen as living and, hence, complex systems.

TL;DR: A qualitative analysis for the proposed model with discrete states is developed, showing well-posedness of the related Cauchy problem for the spatially homogeneous case and for the spitially nonhomogeneous case, the latter with periodic boundary conditions.

TL;DR: This is the first attempt to account for all aspects of the physical granularity of car flow within the formalism of the generalized kinetic theory, in which the space of microscopic states of the vehicles is genuinely discrete.

TL;DR: The geometry and distribution of stress as determined by the simulation are closely similar to those demonstrated in vivo in the lungs of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis using high resolution CT scan radiological imaging, which argues in favor of the recently proposed contribution of mechanical stress to progressive damage and remodeling of lung parenchyma in IPF.

TL;DR: This work deals with the qualitative analysis of the initial value problem for a class of large systems of interacting entities in the framework of the mathematical kinetic theory for active particles.
