Introduction: The investigation of pedestrian dynamics is important as cities continue to develop facilities for high volume foot traffic. Important insights into speed-density relationships, flow patterns, boundary effects and critical states have been derived from experimental studies....

Due to the complexity of the traffic flow dynamics in urban road networks, most quantitative descriptions of city traffic so far are based on computer simulations. This contribution pursues a macroscopic (fluid-dynamic) simulation approach, which facilitates a simple simulation of congestion...

The efficient evacuation of people from dangerous areas is a key objective of emergency management. However, many emergencies give little to no advanced warning, leading to spontaneous evacuation with no time for planning or management. For large emergencies, destinations become less certain,...

We study the role of face-to-face interaction for gender differences in deceptive behavior and perceived honesty. In the first part, we compare women's to men's deceptive behavior using data from an incentivized income reporting experiment in which lies can be detected in the course of an audit....
