Earlier this year, we submitted a joint research project on the modelling of pedestrian crowds, especially in relation to behavioural...

Submit your abstract for the mini-colloquium on human mobilities!

Despite the complexity of the human mind, pedestrians often seem to move fairly predictibly. Even more so when the crowd is dense and...
