Modeling pedestrian dynamics and their implementation in a computer are challenging and
important issues in the knowledge areas of transportation and computer simulation. The aim …

Identifying the relative importance of the different transmission routes of the SARS-CoV-2
virus is an urgent research priority. To that end, the different transmission routes and their …

While walking through a crowd, a pedestrian experiences a large number of interactions
with his neighbors. The nature of these interactions is varied, and it has been observed that …

Aircraft boarding is a very complex process. In this paper, we propose a new aircraft
boarding model with consideration of passengers' individual properties. The model is then …

Purpose A crowd of pedestrians is a complex system in which individuals exhibit conflicting
behavioural mechanisms leading to self-organisation phenomena. Computer models for the …

Situations characterised by the presence of a high density of pedestrians involved in
negative interactions (eg flows in opposite directions) often represent a problematic scenario …

Modeling pedestrian decision making activities represents a serious challenge: different
decisions are taken at distinct levels of abstraction, employing heterogeneous information …

Studies related to crowds of pedestrians, both those of theoretical nature and application
oriented ones, have generally focused on either the analysis or the synthesis of the …

This paper analyzes the emergent behaviors of pedestrian groups that learn through the
multiagent reinforcement learning model developed in our group. Five scenarios studied in …

Pedestrian simulation is complex because there are different levels of behavior modeling. At
the lowest level, local interactions between agents occur; at the middle level, strategic and …
