abstract = {Knowledge about the dynamic in crowds is useful for
planning events, transportation hubs, or escape routes in
buildings. In this context, the first part of the lecture
introduces transport characteristics of crowds. This
includes collective phenomena, the relationship between
density, speed and flow as well as congestion at
bottlenecks. State of the art models represent pedestrian as
two-dimensional objects (e.g., circles, ellipses, etc.) and
are thus able to predict congestion in complex path
networks. However, they reach their limits when it comes to
describing crowds at high densities. An insight into these
dynamics is gained by witness statements from the Love
Parade in Duisburg, an event in which 31 people died. The
analysis shows how people behave in crowds and how the loss
of balance lead to life-threatening situations. The last
part of the talk introduces a methodology for collecting
data that provides a three-dimensional description of the
movement and interaction of bodies (torsos and limbs) in
crowds. This data forms the basis to develop hybrid AI
models in which pedestrians interact as three-dimensional
objects.},
