Visualization of crowd synchronization on footbridges
This paper proposes a framework for the visualization of crowd walking synchronization on footbridges. The bridge is modeled as a mass-spring system, which is a weakly damped and driven harmonic oscillator. Both the bridge and the pedestrians walking on the bridge are affected by the movement of each other. The crowd acts according to local behavioral rules. Each pedestrian is provided with a k...

متن کاملA Stability Criterion Model of Flexible Footbridges under Crowd-Induced Vertical Excitation
The excessive vibration caused by crowds walking across footbridges has attracted great public concerns in the past few decades. This paper presents, from considering the dynamic characteristics of the bipedal crowd model, a new stability limit criterion based on the bipedal excitation model. The stability limit can be used to estimate the upper boundary of crowd size. In addition, the dynamic ...
متن کاملModeling crowd behavior
Modeling crowd behavior is an important challenge for cognitive modelers, multi-agent systems and social simulation. In this dissertation we explore several techniques for modeling crowd behaviors and address important challenges concerning each technique. In the first part of the work we use the agent based approach for modeling crowd behavior. We present the extended Social Comparison model (...
متن کاملContinuum modeling of crowd turbulence.
With the growth in world population, the density of crowds in public places has been increasing steadily, leading to a higher incidence of crowd disasters at high densities. Recent research suggests that emergent chaotic behavior at high densities-known collectively as crowd turbulence-is to blame. Thus, a deeper understanding of crowd turbulence is needed to facilitate efforts to prevent and p...
