Il prossimo martedì 22 ottobre alle 14.30 ospite dei Seminari Generali dell'IAC sarà Marta Menci, dell'Università Campus biomedico di Roma.
Il seminario, dal titolo Simulating Crowd Dynamics: from low to high-density scenarios, si svolge come sempre in modalità mista, in presenza, nell'aula al primo piano della sede di Roma, via dei Taurini 19, e streaming (vedi link in calce).
Di seguito l'abstract.
In this talk I will present some recent results concerning modelling and simulations of collective behaviors emerging in pedestrian dynamics.
Starting from the '70s, a great variety of models have been proposed, spanning different scales of descriptions and approaches.
The focus will be on a novel distance-based zeroth-order discrete-in-time model, which offers a powerful tool for simulating crowd behavior at a microscopic level. This model is specifically designed to reproduce key self-organizing patterns typically observed in crowds, as well as the propagation of material waves that emerge in high-densities scenarios. Unlike well-established models of the literature, the proposed model provides a novel perspective by eliminating common issues found in the widely-used social force model, such as unrealistic inertia and oscillatory movements. These refinements make the model more reliable and accurate for practical applications.
I will show how the models considered during the talk can handle a variety of real-world scenarios and challenges through a series of numerical simulations.
