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…
Experimental Study of Collective Pedestrian Dynamics
Cécile Appert-Rolland, Julien Pettré, Anne-Hélène Olivier +4
We report on two series of experiments, conducted in the frame of two different collaborations designed to study how pedestrians adapt their trajectories and velocities in groups o…
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…
