Listen "Crowd control and social dynamics – which way out?"
Episode Synopsis
Crowd management is key to evacuation safety. Yet, evacuation simulation programmes often lack experimental verification due to the inadequacy of benchmarks with real-world experiments.Ilias Panagiotopoulus, Jens Starke, and Wolfram Just from the University of Rostock, Germany, have developed a model-free approach to analyse field experiments. This innovative method provides quantitative benchmarks and extends our understanding of crowd dynamics. in Research FeaturesRead the original research: doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevResearch.4.043190
