Understanding the behavior of human crowds is a key step toward a safer society and more
livable cities. Despite the individual variability and will of single individuals, human crowds …

Introduction The safety of humans in crowded environments has been recognised as an
important and rapidly growing research area with significant implications for urban planning …

We perform magnetically assisted Sisyphus laser cooling of the triatomic free radical
strontium monohydroxide (SrOH). This is achieved with principal optical cycling in the …

Following the review of the experimental methods and top emerging topics, here, studies
using the field data collection methods of pedestrian dynamics (April 2017-July 2019) are …

Modeling crowd motion is central to situations as diverse as risk prevention in mass events
and visual effects rendering in the motion picture industry. The difficulty of performing …

Recent advances in bottleneck studies have highlighted that different architectural
adjustments at the exit may reduce the probability of clogging at the exit thereby enhancing …

We report a thorough analysis of the intermittent flow of pedestrians through a narrow door.
The observations include five different sets of evacuation drills with which we have …

This article is on collective phenomena in pedestrian dynamics during the assembling and
dispersal of gatherings. To date pedestrian dynamics have been primarily studied in the …

How does evacuation behaviour of crowds vary based on the level of perceived urgency?
This question was investigated using two simulated experiments of crowd evacuations …

This work is a systematic review of optimisation methods for pedestrian evacuations. The
focus is on interventional approaches that seek to improve evacuation efficiency rather than …
