1. 1. Moving in the dark : Mathematics of complex pedestrian flows

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

   Author : Meghashyam Veluvali; [2023]
   Keywords : Mathematical modelling of pedestrian dynamics; stochastic systems; evacuation time; random walk method; parabolic equation; finite difference method;

   Abstract : The field of mathematical modelling for pedestrian dynamics has attracted significant scientific attention, with various models proposed from perspectives such as kinetic theory, statistical mechanics, game theory and partial differential equations. Often such investigations are seen as being a part of a new branch of study in the domain of applied physics, called sociophysics. READ MORE

3. 2. Mescape - A probabilistic mesoscopic model for fire evacuation in large gatherings

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Lorenzo Contini; [2022]
   Keywords : Human behaviour; crowd evacuation; mesoscopic modelling; hydraulic model; large gatherings; fire safety; performance-based design; quantitative risk assessment; consequence analysis; uncertainty analysis; probabilistic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study presents a mesoscopic model that predicts pedestrian evacuation in large gatherings with probabilistic methods. The model is based on a coarse network representation of buildings, where occupants are treated at a different scale according to their location. READ MORE

4. 3. The Bee & the Crown : The Road to Ascension in the Poetry of Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för språk, litteratur och interkultur (from 2013)

   Author : Stenskär Eva; [2021]
   Keywords : Key words: Sylvia Plath; Emily Dickinson; Outsiders; Threshold; Space; Ascension; Windows; Performativity; Violence; Divine; Walter Benjamin; Gaston Bachelard; Subha Mukheriji; Mircea Eliade; Suzanne Juhasz; Sandra Gilbert; Susan Gubar; Interiors; Pathology; Ecstasy; Fear;

   Abstract : Though born a century apart, American poets Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath share several similarities: Both were born in New England, both fought for their rights by writing, and both broke new poetic ground.          In this thesis, I look at their poetry through a movement in space, which begins with the poets’ precarious position as societal outliers and ends with ascension.

5. 4. EVALUATION OF MEASUREMENT METHODS FOR DETERMINING INDIVIDUAL MOVEMENT IN CROWDS

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Gabriel Larsson; Jesper Friholm; [2019]
   Keywords : Inter person distance; contact distance; step length; stride length; eye tracking; crowd movement; motion capture; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Since the mid-20th century, investigations of parameters that affect crowd movement have mainly been performed via video analysis. However, modern alternatives have been used to investigate how a person moves, but only with one person at a time. READ MORE

6. 5. Interactive Visual Analytics for Agent-Based simulation : Street-Crossing Behavior at Signalized Pedestrian Crossing

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Jiaqi Zheng; [2019]
   Keywords : street-crossing behavior; spatio-temporal trajectory visualization; space utilization; visual analytics;

   Abstract : To design a pedestrian crossing area reasonably can be a demanding task for traffic planners. There are several challenges, including determining the appropriate dimensions, and ensuring that pedestrians are exposed to the least risks. READ MORE
