Special Session 102: Kinetic models for multi-agent systems modeling socio-economic behavior
Contents
Many Individual-Based Pedestrian models have been proposed in the literature. They can roughly be categorized in two classes: a first class considers pedestrians as rational agents able to optimize their trajectory in order to fulfil their goal. The second class of models rely on a mechanistic view of agents reacting to close encounters like physical particles. In both cases, we derive macroscopic models and discuss their similarities and differences.
