Pedestrian Dynamics: Feedback Control of Crowd Evacuation (Understanding Complex Systems) - Softcover

Críticas

From the reviews:

“The book is intended for researchers, engineers, and graduate students in applied complexity and nonlinear dynamics as well as in pedestrian dynamics.” (IEEE Control Systems Magazine, Vol. 29, October, 2009)

“This book is dedicated the developing pedestrian dynamic models that can be used in the control and investigation of crowd behavior. ... This book is very interesting. It considered actual theme about evacuation strategy. The theory bases on the analogy with air dynamical processes and uses modern mathematical methods, as Lyapunov’s theory for estimation stability of control processes. This book may be very useful for scientists, post graduate students who work in area of control strategy evacuation.” (Yuri N. Sankin, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1237, 2012)

Reseña del editor

Effective evacuations can save lives. This book provides mathematical models of pedestrian movements that can be used specifically for designing feedback control laws for effective evacuation. The book also provides various feedback control laws to accomplish the effective evacuation. It book uses the hydrodynamic hyperbolic PDE macroscopic pedestrian models since they are amenable to feedback control design. The control designs are obtained through different nonlinear techniques.
