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

Crowdbrush: interactive authoring of real-time crowd scenes
TL;DR: A novel approach to create complex scenes involving thousands of animated individuals in a simple and intuitive way by employing a brush metaphor, analogous to the tools used in image manipulation programs, to distribute, modify and control crowd members in real-time with immediate visual feedback.

Convolutional Neural Network for Trajectory Prediction
TL;DR: This work proposes a convolutional neural network (CNN) based human trajectory prediction approach which supports increased parallelism and effective temporal representation, and the proposed compact CNN model is faster than the current approaches yet still yields competitive results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present quantitative experimental data on colloidal laning at the single-particle level and demonstrate a continuous increase in the fraction of particles in a lane for the case where oppositely charged particles are driven by an electric field.

Safe Reinforcement Learning With Model Uncertainty Estimates
TL;DR: MC-Dropout and Bootstrapping are used to give computationally tractable and parallelizable uncertainty estimates and are embedded in a Safe Reinforcement Learning framework to form uncertainty-aware navigation around pedestrians, resulting in a collision avoidance policy that knows what it does not know and cautiously avoids pedestrians that exhibit unseen behavior.

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.
