This paper presents a review and critical analysis on the modeling of the dynamics of
vehicular traffic, human crowds and swarms seen as living and, hence, complex systems. It …

Background. The three terms “panic”,“irrationality”, and “herding” are ubiquitous in the crowd
dynamics literature and have a strong influence on both modelling and management …

In this paper we model the role of a government of a large population as a mean field
optimal control problem. Such control problems are constrained by a PDE of continuity-type …

In this article, we derive first-order necessary optimality conditions for a constrained optimal
control problem formulated in the Wasserstein space of probability measures. To this end …

Pedestrian evacuation simulation (PES) provides a low-cost and low-risk method to facilitate
safety design and emergency management in indoor environment by describing pedestrian …

The motion dynamics of humans in crowded built environments during evacuations are
impacted by individuals' interactions with the physical environment particularly when the …

This paper focuses on the role of a government of a large population of interacting agents as
a meanfield optimal control problem derived from deterministic finite agent dynamics. The …

In many applications of machine learning, a large number of variables are considered.
Motivated by machine learning of interacting particle systems, we consider the situation …

Humans use social information to improve their decisions in scenarios that involve
uncertainty. Previous research has shown that this social influence can have positive or …

We report experimental measurements obtained during the evacuation of 180 soldiers
through a narrow door. Several conditions are analyzed in the evacuation drills, such as the …
