From Crowd Dynamics to Crowd Safety: A Video-Based Analysis
Anders Johansson, Dirk Helbing, Habib Z. Al-Abideen +1
The study of crowd dynamics is interesting because of the various self-organization phenomena resulting from the interactions of many pedestrians, which may improve or obstruct the…
Specification of the social force pedestrian model by evolutionary adjustment to video tracking data
Anders Johansson, Dirk Helbing, Pradyumn Shukla
Based on suitable video recordings of interactive pedestrian motion and improved tracking software, we apply an evolutionary optimization algorithm to determine optimal parameter s…
Analytical and Numerical Investigation of Ant Behavior Under Crowded Conditions
Karsten Peters, Anders Johansson, Audrey Dussutour +1
Swarm intelligence is widely recognized as a powerful paradigm of self-organized optimization, with numerous examples of successful applications in distributed artificial intellige…
Crowd turbulence: the physics of crowd disasters
Dirk Helbing, Anders Johansson, Habib Z. Al-Abideen
The panic stampede is a serious concern during mass events like soccer championship games. Despite huge numbers of security forces and crowd control measures, hundreds of lives are…
The Dynamics of Crowd Disasters: An Empirical Study
Dirk Helbing, Anders Johansson, Habib Zein Al-Abideen
Many observations in the dynamics of pedestrian crowds, including various self-organization phenomena, have been successfully described by simple many-particle models. For ethical…
