Abstract:
In this talk we present different nonlinear PDE models describing the evolution of bidirectional and crossing pedestrian flows as well as segregation dynamics of multiple species. Starting with lattice based models, we derive the corresponding mean field PDE models using Taylor expansion. We discuss existence and stability of solutions and illustrate the dynamics with various numerical simulations.
