Models for the behavior of ants and pedestrians are studied in a unified way in this paper. Each ant follows pheromone put by preceding ants, hence creating a trail on the ground, while pedestrians also try to follow others in a crowd for efficient and safe walking. These following behaviors are...

Using nonlinear stability theory in macroscopic traffic flow model, we proposed a new equilibrium function starting from the existing equilibrium functions. The kinematic wave velocity at jam density yielded by this equilibrium function is consistent with the empirical value, and this...

Urban traffic is a complex process that is often described by macroscopic flow models. Anyway, the parameters identification of these models remains a heavy work. This paper proposes neural networks architectures that are inspired from the general form of the well-known traffic model but which...
