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

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine extensive data analyses with a modeling approach to measure, disentangle, and reconstruct the actual functional form of interactions involved in the coordination of swimming in Rummy-nose tetra (Hemigrammus rhodostomus).

Adaptive pedestrian behaviour for the preservation of group cohesion
TL;DR: An agent-based model encompassing both traditional individual motivations and an adaptive mechanism representing the influence of group presence in the simulated population is described, effective in qualitatively reproducing group related phenomena and stimulates further research efforts aimed at gathering empirical evidences.

Pedestrian Traffic - Simulation and Experiments
TL;DR: This thesis deals with the simulation of pedestrian traffic with a focus on evacuation processes and the construction of a discrete model of pedestrian evacuation dynamics, which is applicable to scenarios with a few million persons.

Socially Constrained Structural Learning for Groups Detection in Crowd
TL;DR: In this paper, the affinity between crowd members is learned through an online formulation of the Structural SVM framework and a set of specifically designed features characterizing both their physical and social identity.

Solving the potential field local minimum problem using internal agent states
TL;DR: A new, extended artificial potential field method, which uses dynamic internal agent states that manipulate the potential field in which the agent is situated, which successfully solves reactive path planning problems, such as a complex maze with multiple local minima, which cannot be solved using conventional static potential fields.

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.
