Propagation of controlled frontward impulses through standing crowds

Sina Feldmann, Juliane Adrian, Maik Boltes

Impulse propagation in crowds is a phenomenon that is crucial for understanding collective dynamics, but has been scarcely addressed so far. Therefore, we have carried out experime…

Forward propagation of a push through a row of people

Sina Feldmann, Juliane Adrian

Security plays a crucial role when it comes to planning large events such as concerts, sporting tournaments, pilgrims, or demonstrations. Monitoring and controlling pedestrian dyna…

Pedestrian Flow Analysis in High-Density Crowds: Continuity Equation with Voronoi-Based Fields

Juliane Adrian, Ann Katrin Boomers, Sarah Paetzke +1

Since the beginning of the century, capturing trajectories of pedestrian streams precisely from video recordings has been possible. To enable measurements at high density, the head…

Temporal segmentation of motion propagation in response to an external impulse

Sina Feldmann, Thomas Chatagnon, Juliane Adrian +2

In high-density crowds, local motion can propagate, amplify, and lead to macroscopic phenomena, including 'density waves'. These density waves only occur when individuals interact,…

Pedestrian Crowd Management Experiments: A Data Guidance Paper

Ann Katrin Boomers, Maik Boltes, Juliane Adrian +20

Understanding pedestrian dynamics and the interaction of pedestrians with their environment is crucial to the safe and comfortable design of pedestrian facilities. Experiments offe…

Crowding and Queuing in Entrance Scenarios: Influence of Corridor Width in Front of Bottlenecks

Juliane Adrian, Maik Boltes, Stefan Holl +2

In this paper, we present results of an entrance experiment investigating the effect of the corridor width in front of a bottleneck on the density. The idea is based on a previous…
