Course layout
This course is partitioned into 12 modules of varying length. Jointly they provide a comprehensive overview of the latest trends in crowd management and pedestrian traffic engineering. For a complete overview of the current state-of-the-art, start at the top left and work your way through all the modules 1-by-1.
This module introduces the need for crowd management and details the course objectives.
This module defines crowd management and scopes the type of actions a crowd manager will and not perform.
This modules introduces the choices that people make at a strategic, tactical and operational level.
Pedestrians’ strategic and tactical choices can be modelled. This module provides an introduction in crowd choice modelling.
This module provides insights regarding how to influence the choice behaviour of visitors.
In order to objectify crowd management, we are in need of a quantitative way to describe crowd dynamics. This section describes the main variables to describe pedestrian flows.
Advances in sensing and computation techniques have been rapidly following each other. Consequently, new monitoring technologies are introduced frequently.
Pedestrians operational choices can also be modelled. Another type of models is used for this purpose. This module elaborates on the main modelling types for crowd movement dynamics modelling.
Nice links
While performing this research, we have come across some nice links to further specialize yourself in crowd management. This is where you can find them.
