TL;DR: This study focuses on measuring the vulnerability of the system by increasing the volume of cars in the network, keeping the road capacity and the empirical spatial dynamics from origins to destinations unchanged, and identifies three states of urban traffic, separated by two distinctive transitions.

TL;DR: In this article, the state of the art in urban science is discussed and a review of recent work on cities and urbanization in many other disciplines is presented. The authors of the report are all based in academic or research institutions but several of them are close to practice by virtue of collaboration with NGOs and community groups and engagement with policy.

TL;DR: A coupled network approach to understanding and predicting social response is developed, which couple the disease spread and panic spread processes and model them through local interactions between agents.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define a framework using a text compression technique on the sequences of credit card purchases to detect ubiquitous patterns of collective behavior, clustering the consumers by their similarity in purchases sequences.

TL;DR: A recent model of colliding mobile agents used as an alternative approach to construct evolving networks of interactions formed by the collisions governed by suitable dynamical rules is investigated, where the obtained structure has topological fe atures which characterize accurately the structure and evolution of social networks in different contexts, ranging from networks of acquaintances to networks of sexual contacts.
