Traffic Instabilities in Self-Organized Pedestrian Crowds

Mehdi Moussaid, Elsa G. Guillot, Mathieu Moreau +7

In human crowds as well as in many animal societies, local interactions among individuals often give rise to self-organized collective organizations that offer functional benefits…

The walking behaviour of pedestrian social groups and its impact on crowd dynamics

Mehdi Moussaid, Niriaska Perozo, Simon Garnier +2

Human crowd motion is mainly driven by self-organized processes based on local interactions among pedestrians. While most studies of crowd behavior consider only interactions among…

Experimental study of the behavioural mechanisms underlying self-organization in human crowds

Mehdi Moussaid, Dirk Helbing, Simon Garnier +3

In animal societies as well as in human crowds, many observed collective behaviours result from self-organized processes based on local interactions among individuals. However, mod…

Fat tails, long memory, maturity and ageing in open-source software projects

Damien Challet, Sergi Valverde

We report activity data analysis on several open source software projects, focusing on time between modifications and on the number of files modified at once. Both have fat-tailed…
