Abstract
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, from dilute to dense, invariably display a remarkable set of universal features and statistically reproducible behaviors. Here, we review ideas and recent progress in employing the language and tools from physics to develop a deeper understanding about the dynamics of pedestrians. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, Volume 14 is March 2023. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
期刊介绍:
Since its inception in 2010, the Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics has been chronicling significant advancements in the field and its related subjects. By highlighting recent developments and offering critical evaluations, the journal actively contributes to the ongoing discourse in condensed matter physics. The latest volume of the journal has transitioned from gated access to open access, facilitated by Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open initiative. Under this program, all articles are now published under a CC BY license, ensuring broader accessibility and dissemination of knowledge.
