Abstract

This paper presents a new approach to the behavioral dynamics of human crowds. Macroscopic first order models are derived based on mass conservation at the macroscopic scale, while methods of the kinetic theory are used to model the decisional process by which walkers select their velocity direction. The present approach is applied to describe the dynamics of a homogeneous crowd in venues with complex geometries. Numerical results are obtained using a finite volume method on unstructured grids. Our results visualize the predictive ability of the model. Solutions for heterogeneous crowd can be obtained by the same technique where crowd heterogeneity is modeled by dividing the whole system into subsystems identified by different features.
