Evacuation time estimate for a total pedestrian evacuation using queuing network model and volunteered geographic information
Bharat Kunwar, Filippo Simini, Anders Johansson
Estimating city evacuation time is a non-trivial problem due to the interaction between thousands of individual agents, giving rise to various collective phenomena, such as bottlen…
Saving Human Lives: What Complexity Science and Information Systems can Contribute
Dirk Helbing, Dirk Brockmann, Thomas Chadefaux +8
We discuss models and data of crowd disasters, crime, terrorism, war and disease spreading to show that conventional recipes, such as deterrence strategies, are often not effective…
Pedestrian, Crowd, and Evacuation Dynamics
Dirk Helbing, Anders Johansson
This contribution describes efforts to model the behavior of individual pedestrians and their interactions in crowds, which generate certain kinds of self-organized patterns of mot…
Analytical Modelling of the Spread of Disease in Confined and Crowded Spaces
Lara Goscé, David A W Barton, Anders Johansson
Since 1927, until recently, models describing the spread of disease have mostly been of the SIR-compartmental type, based on the assumption that populations are homogeneous and wel…
Constructing cities, deconstructing scaling laws
Elsa Arcaute, Erez Hatna, Peter Ferguson +3
Cities can be characterised and modelled through different urban measures. Consistency within these observables is crucial in order to advance towards a science of cities. Bettenco…
Gravity vs radiation model: on the importance of scale and heterogeneity in commuting flows
A. P. Masucci, J. Serras, A. Johansson +1
We test the recently introduced radiation model against the gravity model for the system composed of England and Wales, both for commuting patterns and for public transportation fl…
