Module CFM1 is mandatory and has to be completed with 8 credit points.

Additional 8 credits points have to be gained by completing two modules from the elective modules CFM2, CFM5, CFM6 and CFM7.

More information about the modules can be found in the module reference book.

How can we understand the properties of a crowd and predict its dynamics in closed and open spaces? This lecture addresses this question that weaves together three streams: development of operative models, investigation of route choice models, and software engineering. In this lecture, we aim at exploring several interrelated topics that fall under "mathematical modeling of pedestrian dynamics.":
 

• Identification and analysis of both micro and macro factors that affect pedestrian movement in real-world application scenarios.
• Exploiting various modeling techniques to replicate and simulate crowd movement features, reaching from physical-driven modeling designed to understand key characteristics of crowd movement to data-driven models aiming at predicting the outcome of evacuation processes. Investigation of many route choice strategies and their influence on the overall evacuation time from a building.

In the lecture, we simulate applied scenarios with the software JuPedSim (Jülich Pedestrian Simulator) https://www.jupedsim.org/ . Exemplary simulations can be found here:
