Download or read book Fractional Order Crowd Dynamics written by Kecai Cao and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-06-11 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illustrates the application of fractional calculus in crowd dynamics via modeling and control groups of pedestrians. Decision-making processes, conservation laws of mass/momentum, and micro-macro models are employed to describe system dynamics while cooperative movements in micro scale, and fractional diffusion in macro scale are studied to control the group of pedestrians. Obtained work is included in the Intelligent Evacuation Systems that is used for modeling and to control crowds of pedestrians. With practical issues considered, this book is of interests to mathematicians, physicists, and engineers.
