Noise-induced transition to stop-and-go waves in single-file traffic rationalized by an analogy with Kapitza's inverted pendulum
Oscar Dufour, Jakob Cordes, Alexandre Nicolas +3
Stop-and-go waves in vehicular traffic are commonly explained as a linear collective instability induced by e.g. response delays. We explore an alternative mechanism that more fait…

Dense Crowd Dynamics and Pedestrian Trajectories: A Multiscale Field Study at the Fête des Lumières in Lyon
Oscar Dufour, Huu-Tu Dang, Jakob Cordes +5
We present one of the first comprehensive field datasets capturing dense pedestrian dynamics across multiple scales, ranging from macroscopic crowd flows over distances of several…
