1. 1. People flow maps for socially conscious robot navigation

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

   Author : Rex Fox O'Loughlin; [2023]
   Keywords : people flow; maps of dynamics; occupancy maps; motion prediction; trajectory dataset;

   Abstract : With robots becoming increasingly common in human occupied spaces, there has been a growing body of research into the problem of socially conscious robot navigation. A robot must be able to predict and anticipate the movements of people around it in order to navigate in a way that is socially acceptable, or it may face rejection and therefore failure. READ MORE

3. 2. 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

4. 3. Analysis of Footbridge Comfort Vibrations

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

   Author : Niklas Thuresson; Henrik Ruuth; [2023]
   Keywords : footbridges; dynamics; vibrations; accelerations; Sétra; comfort vibrations; natural frequencies; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The aim of this master's thesis was to investigate and increase the knowledge of how different parameters affect the dynamic properties of steel beam bridges used for pedestrian traffic. Steel footbridges are commonly used due to their high strength and low weight. READ MORE

5. 4. HSI effects on pedestrian bridges

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Giancarlo Costa; [2021]
   Keywords : Dynamics; HSI; Human Structure Interaction; pedestrian bridge;

   Abstract : The study on Human Structure Interaction (HSI) effects represent a new research field in the design of pedestrian bridges. The presence of pedestrians on the structure affects the dynamic properties of the bridge, and these changes may be quantified in order to design pedestrian bridges in a more efficient way.

6. 5. Crowd evacuation in high-density scenarios

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Ines Cilenti; [2019]
   Keywords : Crowd evacuation; high-density; crowd pressure; video analysis; bottleneck; outdoor event; local density.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Nowadays, is becoming increasingly frequent holding events in outdoor environments, involving a large number of people, even though these spaces were not designed from a safe prospective, in the way that safety is defined today. In such events, high density conditions is an ongoing issue, as the evacuation becomes very complex, due to the space design and the interaction among the pedestrians. READ MORE
