Jams, Waves, and Clusters
Dirk Helbing, Martin Treiber
Have you been suffering from traffic jams lately and asking yourself why freeways are no free ways anymore? After several great advances in traffic theory, Korean physicists have n…
Optimizing Traffic Flow
Bernardo A. Huberman, Dirk Helbing
We present an economics-based method for deciding the optimal rates at which vehicles are allowed to enter a highway. The method exploits the naturally occuring fluctuations of tra…
Traffic Data and Their Implications for Consistent Traffic Flow Modeling
Dirk Helbing
The paper analyzes traffic data of the Dutch freeway A9 with respect to certain aspects which are relevant for traffic flow modeling as well as the calibration of model parameters…
Self-Organization Phenomena in Pedestrian Crowds
Dirk Helbing, Peter Molnar
Pedestrian crowds can very realistically be simulated with a social force model which describes the different influences affecting individual pedestrian motion by a few simple forc…
Microscopic Foundation of Stochastic Game Dynamical Equations
Dirk Helbing
The game dynamical equations are derived from Boltzmann-like equations for individual pair interactions by assuming a certain kind of imitation behavior, the so-called proportional…
A Fluid Dynamic Model for the Movement of Pedestrians
Dirk Helbing
A kind of fluid dynamic description for the collective movement of pedestrians is developed on the basis of a Boltzmann-like gaskinetic model. The differences between these pedestr…
