TLDR
In this article, a microscopic two-level simulation modeling framework is proposed to analyze both decision-making processes at a crosswalk as well as physical interactions among pedestrians when they cross a street.About:

A literature survey
TL;DR: The objective of the survey is to cover the state-of-the-art in three areas of meta-analysis where the authors believe there are still unsolved problems and where the choice of approach may still be contentious.

Extended route choice model based on available evacuation route set and its application in crowd evacuation simulation
TL;DR: Experimental results show that the extended model can effectively reproduce crowd behavior in an emergency situation, which can assist in analyzing emergency evacuation scenarios and two important conclusions regarding increasing evacuation efficiency shows that the proposed model is in line with real-world situations.

Pedestrian crowd tactical-level decision making during emergency evacuations
Milad Haghani,Majid Sarvi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated pedestrian crowd tactical-level decision-making during emergency evacuations and found that most evacuees perceive other individuals as potential sources of congestion and extra delay (generalization to situations where crowd is completely unfamiliar with the egress geometry, however, may require careful scrutiny).

Simulating dynamical features of escape panic
TL;DR: A model of pedestrian behaviour is used to investigate the mechanisms of panic and jamming by uncoordinated motion in crowds, and an optimal strategy for escape from a smoke-filled room is found, involving a mixture of individualistic behaviour and collective ‘herding’ instinct.

The Wisdom of Crowds: Why the Many Are Smarter Than the Few and How Collective Wisdom Shapes Business, Economies, Societies and Nations
TL;DR: Surowiecki explores a seemingly counter-intuitive idea that has profound implications as mentioned in this paper : Decisions taken by a large group, even if the individuals within the group aren't smart, are always better than decisions made by small numbers of 'experts'.

Decision Field Theory: A Dynamic-Cognitive Approach to Decision Making in an Uncertain Environment.
TL;DR: Decision field theory provides for a mathematical foundation leading to a dynamic, stochastic theory of decision behavior in an uncertain environment and is compared with 4 other theories of decision making under uncertainty.

Simulation of pedestrian dynamics using a two dimensional cellular automaton
TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional cellular automaton model is proposed to simulate pedestrian tra c c. It is a vmax = 1 model with exclusion statistics and parallel dynamics, and long-range interactions between the pedestrians are mediated by a so-called "oor #eld which modi4es the transition rates to neighbouring cells.

The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind
Abstract: The whole of the common characteristics with which heredity endows the individuals of a race constitute the genius of the race. When, however, a certain number of these individuals are gathered together in a crowd for purposes of action, observation proves that, from the mere fact of their being assembled, there result certain new psychological characteristics, which are added to the racial characteristics and differ from them at times to a very considerable degree.
