Description
Summary:	Homeland security, transportation, and city planning depend upon well-designed evacuation routes. You can't wait until the day of to realize your plan won't work. Designing successful evacuation plans requires an in-depth understanding of models and control designs for the problems of traffic flow, construction and road closures, and the intangible human factors. Pedestrian Dynamics: Mathematical Theory and Evacuation Control clearly delineates the derivation of mathematical models for pedestrian dynamics and how to use them to design feedback controls for evacuations.The book includes:Mathema.
