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

The impact of stress in decision making in the context of uncertainty.
TL;DR: This Mini‐Review provides a comprehensive overview on how stress impacts decision‐making processes, particularly under uncertain conditions, and can prove to be useful for intervention related to impairments to decision-making processes that present in several stress‐triggered neuropsychiatric disorders.

TL;DR: This work quantifies and formalises empirical research on and verbal descriptions of the effect of group identity on behaviour in pedestrian simulation algorithmically and uses uncertainty quantification to analyse the model’s behaviour when it varies crucial model parameters.

3DOF Pedestrian Trajectory Prediction Learned from Long-Term Autonomous Mobile Robot Deployment Data
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3DOF pedestrian trajectory prediction approach for autonomous mobile service robots is presented, which is trained using long-term data from real-world robot deployments and aims to learn context-dependent (environment- and time-specific) human activities.

Waiting pedestrians in the social force model
TL;DR: The social force model is a common model in simulations, describing the dynamics of pedestrian crowds given the goals of the simulated pedestrians encoded as their preferred velocities.

Kinetic theory of vehicular traffic
TL;DR: A theory of multi-LANE traffic flow and the space-time evolution of thevelocity distribution of cars are examined to help understand the role of driver behaviour and strategy in this network.

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.
