TLDR
Computer simulations of crowds of interacting pedestrians show that the social force model is capable of describing the self-organization of several observed collective effects of pedestrian behavior very realistically.Abstract:
It is suggested that the motion of pedestrians can be described as if they would be subject to ``social forces.'' These ``forces'' are not directly exerted by the pedestrians' personal environment, but they are a measure for the internal motivations of the individuals to perform certain actions (movements). The corresponding force concept is discussed in more detail and can also be applied to the description of other behaviors. In the presented model of pedestrian behavior several force terms are essential: first, a term describing the acceleration towards the desired velocity of motion; second, terms reflecting that a pedestrian keeps a certain distance from other pedestrians and borders; and third, a term modeling attractive effects. The resulting equations of motion of nonlinearly coupled Langevin equations. Computer simulations of crowds of interacting pedestrians show that the social force model is capable of describing the self-organization of several observed collective effects of pedestrian behavior very realistically.read more

DenseCAvoid: Real-time Navigation in Dense Crowds using Anticipatory Behaviors
TL;DR: This work presents DenseCAvoid, a novel algorithm for navigating a robot through dense crowds and avoiding collisions by anticipating pedestrian behaviors that reduces the occurrence of the robot freezing in a crowd by up to 48%, and performs comparably with respect to trajectory lengths and mean arrival times to goal.

Social modulation of decision-making: a cross-species review
TL;DR: There is currently still a gap between decision-making in real life where influences of the social environment are extensive, and decision- making as measured in the laboratory, which is often done without any (deliberate) social influences, and methods are being developed to bridge this gap.

A spatial-temporal attention model for human trajectory prediction
TL;DR: A novel spatial-temporal attention ( ST-Attention) model is proposed, which studies spatial and temporal affinities jointly and introduces an attention mechanism to extract temporal affinity, learning the importance for historical trajectory information at different time instants.

TL;DR: The modified model is shown to explain not only the generic shape of the fundamental diagram but also why different cultures produce different fundamental diagrams.

Improved fluid-dynamic model for vehicular traffic.
TL;DR: The fluid-dynamic traffic model of Kerner and Konh\"auser is extended by an equation for the vehicles' velocity variance, able to describe the observed increase of velocity variance immediately before a traffic jam develops.
