PEDUM24 collegial workshop

The Franco-German Workshop on Pedestrian Dynamics and Urban Mobility will take place from 25 to 28 June 2024 at the University of Wuppertal, Germany.

Supports:

  • French-German University
  • University of Wuppertal, Germany
  • Claude Bernard University Lyon 1 and CNRS, France

The poster of the workshop is available here.

  

Presentation of the workshop

In an increasingly urbanised world, analysing and understanding the dynamics of mixed urban traffic, including pedestrians, cyclists and other new mobility modes, is necessary for urban planning, infrastructure design and the organisation of major events, among other applications. These issues are of great societal interest in terms of mobility and safety, but also in terms of environment and quality of life.

The aim of this workshop is to provide a multidisciplinary forum for discussion and exchange in a relaxed and collegial atmosphere, bringing together young researchers and experts from computer science, physics, mathematics, data science, engineering, sociology, and psychology on topics related to pedestrian dynamics and urban mobility. Young researchers at the doctoral or post-doctoral level, as well as students at the end of their Masters, will be particularly welcome.

The workshop is supported by the Franco-German University.   Registration is free!

Research topics

The workshop topics are categorised into three main research axes covering a wide range of approaches to modelling pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle behaviours and their dynamics from different disciplines:

  • TOPIC 1:  Physics- and optimisation-based models
    • Bio-physics models
    • Models based on multi-criteria optimisation
  • TOPIC 2:  Socio-psychological factors
    • Pairwise vs holistic interaction
    • Situation and behaviour identification
  • TOPIC 3:  Data-driven algorithms
    • Deep learning approaches
    • Cost and evaluation metrics
  • CROSS-DISCIPLINARY TOPICS
    • Hybrid modelling - Physics/optimisation/socio-psychology/data-driven
    • Mixed urban traffic flow -  Modelling interactions between different road users
    • Multi-agent systems and simulation - Simulation of heterogeneous agent dynamics, simulation softwares
