Pedestrian evacuations with imitation of cooperative behavior
Amir Zablotsky, Marcelo N Kuperman, Sebastián Bouzat
We analyze the dynamics of room evacuation for mixed populations that include both competitive and cooperative individuals through numerical simulations using the social force mode…
Testing lockdown measures in epidemic outbreaks through mean-field models considering the social structure
Eric Rozan, Sebastian Bouzat, Marcelo N Kuperman
Lately, concepts such as lockdown, quarantine, and social distancing have become very relevant since they have been associated with essential measures in the prevention and mitigat…
Mechanical response of dense pedestrian crowds to the crossing of intruders
Alexandre Nicolas, Marcelo Kuperman, Santiago Ibanez +2
The increasing number of mass events involving large crowds calls for a better understanding of the dynamics of dense crowds. Inquiring into the possibility of a mechanical descrip…
A counterintuitive way to speed up pedestrian and granular bottleneck flows prone to clogging: Can 'more' escape faster?
Alexandre Nicolas, Santiago Ibáñez, Marcelo Kuperman +1
Dense granular flows through constrictions, as well as competitive pedestrian evacuations, are hindered by a propensity to form clogs. We usesimulations of model pedestrians and ex…
Pedestrian flows through a narrow doorway: Effect of individual behaviours on the global flow and microscopic dynamics
Alexandre Nicolas, Sebastián Bouzat, Marcelo Kuperman
We study the dynamics of pedestrian evacuations through a narrow doorway by means of controlled experiments. The influence of the pedestrians' behaviours is investigated by prescri…
Influence of selfish and polite behaviours on a pedestrian evacuation through a narrow exit: A quantitative characterisation
Alexandre Nicolas, Sebastián Bouzat, Marcelo Kuperman
We study the influence of selfish vs. polite behaviours on the dynamics of a pedestrian evacuation through a narrow exit. To this end, experiments involving about 80 participants w…
