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

Self-Organized Shape and Frontal Density of Fish Schools
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the oblong shape and high frontal density emerge by self-organization as a side effect of coordination at two or four body lengths per second for schools of sizes above 20.

TL;DR: Two models have been studied for the behavior avoiding from collision when the pedestrians meet with each other in a system where one pedestrian and many pedestrians walk in the opposite direction and encounter each other on a passageway.

Inverse Reinforcement Learning algorithms and features for robot navigation in crowds: An experimental comparison
TL;DR: A new software framework to systematically investigate the effect features and learning algorithms used in the literature is introduced and results for the task of socially compliant robot navigation in crowds are presented, evaluating two different IRL approaches and several feature sets in large-scale simulations.

Measuring Crowd Collectiveness
TL;DR: The collectiveness descriptor is compared with human perception for collective motion and shows their high consistency, which has a wide range of applications, such as detecting collective motions from crowd clutters, monitoring crowd dynamics, and generating maps of collectiveness for crowded scenes.

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.
