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

Continuum modelling of pedestrian flows: From microscopic principles to self-organised macroscopic phenomena
TL;DR: The dynamics of pedestrian flows can be captured in a continuum modelling framework, but this is a much more challenging task than vehicular flow, because pedestrian flow is characterised by different self-organised phenomena, such as the formation of dynamic lanes and diagonal stripes.

Modeling crowd dynamics by the mean-field limit approach
TL;DR: The main interest of mean field games in this work is to simplify the interactions between pedestrians, and a continuum formulation of the crowd dynamics and nonlinear systems involving partial differential equations of crowd models is derived.

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.
