Traffic and related self-driven many-particle systems

D Helbing - Reviews of modern physics, 2001 - APS
Since the subject of traffic dynamics has captured the interest of physicists, many surprising
effects have been revealed and explained. Some of the questions now understood are the …

Hydrodynamics and phases of flocks

J Toner, Y Tu, S Ramaswamy - Annals of Physics, 2005 - Elsevier
We review the past decade's theoretical and experimental studies of flocking: the collective,
coherent motion of large numbers of self-propelled “particles”(usually, but not always, living …

Flocks, herds, and schools: A quantitative theory of flocking

J Toner, Y Tu - Physical review E, 1998 - APS
We present a quantitative continuum theory of “flocking”: the collective coherent motion of
large numbers of self-propelled organisms. In agreement with everyday experience, our …

Collective motion of self-propelled particles interacting without cohesion

H Chaté, F Ginelli, G Grégoire, F Raynaud - Physical Review E—Statistical …, 2008 - APS
We present a comprehensive study of Vicsek-style self-propelled particle models in two and
three space dimensions. The onset of collective motion in such stochastic models with only …

Self-propelled particles with soft-core interactions: patterns, stability, and collapse

MR D'Orsogna, YL Chuang, AL Bertozzi, LS Chayes - Physical review letters, 2006 - APS
Understanding collective properties of driven particle systems is significant for naturally
occurring aggregates and because the knowledge gained can be used as building blocks …

Freezing by heating in a driven mesoscopic system

D Helbing, IJ Farkas, T Vicsek - Physical review letters, 2000 - APS
We investigate a simple model corresponding to particles driven in opposite directions and
interacting via a repulsive potential. The particles move off-lattice on a periodic strip and are …

Hydrodynamic equations for self-propelled particles: microscopic derivation and stability analysis

E Bertin, M Droz, G Grégoire - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
Considering a gas of self-propelled particles with binary interactions, we derive the
hydrodynamic equations governing the density and velocity fields from the microscopic …

Spontaneously ordered motion of self-propelled particles

A Czirók, HE Stanley, T Vicsek - Journal of Physics A …, 1997 - iopscience.iop.org
We study a biologically inspired, inherently non-equilibrium model consisting of self-
propelled particles. In the model, particles move on a plane with a velocity of constant …

Collective motion of self-propelled particles: Kinetic phase transition in one dimension

A Czirók, AL Barabási, T Vicsek - Physical Review Letters, 1999 - APS
We demonstrate that a system of self-propelled particles exhibits spontaneous symmetry
breaking and self-organization in one dimension, in contrast with previous analytical …

Microscopic dynamics of pedestrian evacuation

DR Parisi, CO Dorso - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2005 - Elsevier
In the present work, we studied the room evacuation problem using the social force model
introduced by Helbing and coworkers. This model allows to explore different degree of …
