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

Recursive Social Behavior Graph for Trajectory Prediction
TL;DR: A novel insight of group-based social interaction model to explore relationships among pedestrians is presented and state-of-the-art methods on ETH and UCY dataset are surpassed for 11.1% in ADE and 10.8% in FDE in average.

Behavioral Dynamics of Visually Guided Locomotion
William H. Warren,Brett R. Fajen +1 more
TL;DR: In their seminal research on coordination dynamics, Scott Kelso and his colleagues have developed an account of biological coordination in which the organization of action is viewed as a species of self-organizing pattern formation, understood as a reflection of stability properties in a complex dynamical system.

On the modeling of crowd dynamics: Looking at the beautiful shapes of swarms.
TL;DR: This paper presents a critical overview on the modeling of crowds and swarms and focuses on a modeling strategy based on the attempt to retain the complexity characteristics of systems under consideration viewed as an assembly of living entities characterized by the ability of expressing heterogeneously distributed strategies.

Effect of partition line on jamming transition in pedestrian counter flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of partition line on the pedestrian counter flow is investigated under the open boundaries by using the lattice-gas model of biased random walkers, where two types of walkers without the back step are introduced: the one is the walker going to the right and the other is the walking to the left.

Crowd-Robot Interaction: Crowd-aware Robot Navigation with Attention-based Deep Reinforcement Learning.
TL;DR: In this paper, a self-attention mechanism is proposed to learn the collective importance of neighboring humans with respect to their future states. But their model can only capture the Human-Human interactions occurring in dense crowds that indirectly affects the robot's anticipation capability.

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.
