Study Notes
Safeguarding Mass Gatherings and Understanding Crowd Behavior
- Knowledge gaps in scholarly science on terrorism prevention and response
- Intrinsic and extrinsic risks to crowd safety include overcrowding, environmental hazards, crowd crushes, extreme weather, stampedes, fires, crowd violence, and terror attacks
- Examples of incidents include gate breaches, false alarms, pitch invasions, and bomb attacks in various locations worldwide
- Pedestrian dynamics is a research domain, involving laboratory experiments, economic experiments, health economics experiments, decision-making or social interactions psychology experiments, and developmental psychology experiments
- Controlled laboratory settings are used to study crowd behavior, forming an empirically informed modeling framework with decision-making layers, econometric models, and locomotion layers
- Reaction time in evacuation situations is studied using probabilistic hazard duration models, which show correlation with spatial position
- Hazard duration models have distribution characteristics, model characteristics, and reaction time and speed heterogeneity in real-life situations
- Utility functions and hypothetical choice experiments are used to understand crowd behavior in various scenarios
- Field type (lab-in-the-field) experiments and the concept of (log-)likelihood function optimization are employed to estimate model parameters
- The estimated exit choice model and interpreting the coefficient estimates are part of understanding crowd behavior
- Surveys, revealed choice experiments, and the generalizability of experimental results are considered in learning crowd behavior
