2 Motivations Pedestrian dynamics - Complex behaviors Micro-meso-macro models - Interaction rules Basic issue for crowd management Example: Sziget Festival in Budapest

3 Hughes Model

4 Hughes model: assumptions In 2002 R. Hughes proposed a macropscopic model for pedestrian dynamics, based on: 1 The total number of individuals is conserved in time and the speed of individuals is link to the density of the surrounding pedestrian flow. 2 Individuals have a common goal, e.g. reaching a certain location in space. 3 Pedestrians want to minimize their estimated travel time but try to avoid regions of high density.

5 Hughes model: original formulation Those considerations lead to the following PDE system: t m(x, t) div(m(x, t) f 2 (m(x, t)) u(x, t)) = 0, 1 u(x, t) = f (m(x, t)), where x Ω is the position in space, t (0, T ] the time, m = m(x, t) the pedestrian density, u the weighted shortest distance to a target. An example for f is f (m) = 1 m.

6 Hughes model: a regularization We consider a regularized version in a d-dimentional closed domain (d N + ) t m(x, t) ε m(x, t) div(m(x, t) f 2 (m(x, t)) u(x, t)) = 0, ε u(x, t) u(x, 1 t) 2 = 2f 2 (m(x, t)) + δ. for small parameters ε and δ in R +.

7 Hughes model: boundary conditions Possible choices for the pedestrian density m at the exit are: a given fixed outflow (Neumann BC) an outflux which depends on the density (Robin BC) or a prescribed pedestrian density (Dirichlet BC). We choose: let T denote the common target/goal of the crowd m(x, 0) = m 0 (t), on Ω {0}, m(x, t) = 0, on T (0, T ), u(x, t) = 0, on T (0, T ), u(x, t) = g(x) on Ω \ T (0, T ), (ε m + f 2 (m) u m)(x, t) ˆn(x) = 0, on Ω \ T (0, T ), where ˆn denotes the outer normal vector to the boundary.

8 Trajectory interpretation

9 Trajectory interpretation: HJ equation Given a process α (F s -measurable for all s and admissible), and x Ω, we define u(x, t) = inf α y x,α (s) = x+ s 0 α(r)dr + 2εW (s) for all s > 0, and τ x,α := inf{s > 0 ; y x,α (s) Ω}, where W is a d-dimensional Brownian motion adapted to F. The function u(x, t) defined as { ( τx,α E 0 [ 1 2 α(s) 2 + (2f 2 (m(y x,α (s), t)) + δ) 1 is the solution of the HJ equation associated. ] ds +g(y x,α (τ x,α ))) },

10 Trajectory interpretation: FP equation Let us consider the Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) dx (t) = b(x (t), µ(x (t), t), t) dt + 2ε dw (t), for all t 0, X (0) = X 0, where b : R d R R + R d is a vector-valued function, X 0 is a random vector in R d, independent of the Brownian motion W ( ), with density m 0, and µ(, t) is the density of X (t). It can be shown that the eq. above admits a unique solution and that µ is the unique classical solution of the nonlinear FP equation µ ε µ + div(b(x, µ, t)µ) = 0 in R d [0, [, µ(, 0) = m 0 ( ) in R d.

11 Approximate the system

12 Discrete space Let us suppose Ω = (0, L) d. Given t > 0 and x > 0, let us set (x i, t k ) := (i x, k t), where i {0,..., M} d and k = 0,..., N, and for a given A Ω set G x (A) := {i {0,..., M} d : x i A}. We call B(G x (A)) and B(G x, t (A)) the spaces of grid functions defined respectively on {x i : i G x (A)} and {(x i, t k ), i G x (A), k = 0,..., N}.

13 Discretizing the HJB equation We define the following linear interpolation operator on Ω I [u]( ) := u(x i )β i ( ) for u B(G x (Ω)). i G x (Ω) We approximate y x,α (h) by x hα + εhdz, where Z is a random vector in R d so then: defining h l,± x,α := inf{γ > 0 ; x γα ± εγd e l Ω} h, yx,α l,± := x hx,αα l,± ± εhx,αd l,± e l,

14 A SL-scheme for the HJB equation For v B(G x (Ω)) define W (v, i) := min α A { 1 2d [ ]} d I [v](y l,± i,α ) + ĥl,± i,α 2 α 2 + ĥ l,± i,α F (x i, t). l=1 where F (x, t) := 1/(2f 2 (m(x, t)) + δ). Find u B(G x (Ω)) such that { ui = W (u, i) for all i G x (Ω), u i = g(x i ) for all i G x ( Ω).

15 Some hints for a fast resolution Note that, alternatively, the previous problem can be written in the form: Find u B(G x (Ω)) such that where, if i G x (Ω), 0 = sup {(B α u) i c(α) i } α A (B α v) i = v i 1 2d c(α) i = 1 2d l=1 j G x (Ω), l=1,...,d i G x (Ω), d [ ] 1 2 hl,± x i,α α 2 + hx l,± i,αp(x i, µ), This suggests a policy iteration method. [ β j (y l,+ i,α ) + β j(y l, i,α ) ] v j,

16 Policy iteration method: fundamentals Lemma The previous problem admits a unique solution u x,h [µ]. Moreover, the sequence, for an alpha 0 arbitrary in A, v k = (B αk 1 ) 1 c(α k 1 ), α k argmax α A { B α v k c(α) }, k 1, is well-defined. Moreover for all i G x (Ω), the sequence vi k is non-increasing, converging to u x,h i [µ], and for every limit point α x,h [µ] of α k we have 0 = (B α x,h [µ] u x,h [µ]) i c(α x,h [µ]) i i G x (Ω).

17 Discretization of the Fokker-Plank equation We define E i = [x 1 i 1 2 x, x 1 i x]... [x d i 1 2 x, x d i x], m i,k := 1 ( x) d E i m(x, t k )dx. j Z d, k = 0,..., N 1 and l = 1,..., d. We define also Φ l,± j,k [µ] := x j + t b(x j, µ, t k ) ± 2dε te l.

18 SL-scheme for FP equation Given i Z d setting φ = β i we have the following explicit scheme for m i,k : m i,k+1 = G(m k, i, k) k = 0,..., N 1, i Z d, m i,0 E m 0 (x)dx = i ( x) d i Z d, in which the nonlinear operator G is defined by G(w, i, k) := 1 2d for every w B(Z d ). d j Z d l=1 ( ) ( )) (β i Φ l,+ j,k [w j] + β i Φ l, j,k [w j] w j,

19 Proposition (Weak consistency - in the full space) Assume that m : R d [0, T ] R + is regular enough. Then, assuming that b is Lipschitz, for every φ C0 ( R d ) and k = 0,..., N φ(x)g x, t (m k, x, t k )dx = φ(x)m(x, t k )dx R d R d tk+1 + b(x, m(t, x), t) φ(x)m(x, t)dxdt t k R d tk+1 + ε φ(x)m(x, t)dxdt + O( x + ( t) 2 ). R d t k

20 Boundary conditions (Φ r ) l,± i [b k, µ] := (x j + ν ± i b(x j, µ, t k ) ± ) 2dε te l, { ν ± i := min max{h 0 s.t. ( P(Φ l,± i )[b k, µ] :=P Ω x i + t b(x j, µ, t k ) ± ) 2dε te l, x i + t b(x j, µ, t k ) ± 2dεh T }, t where P Ω : R d Ω is a projection into Ω following z, if z Ω P Ω (z) := 2w z, w := argmin z w, if z / Ω. w Ω }.

21 A Semi-Lagrangian scheme for the system. Given x, t, h we define the following discrete scheme for k = 0,..., N 1: v i,k = W x,h [m k ](v k, i) i G x (Ω), v i,k = g(x i ), i G x ( Ω), where m k+1 i = G x, t ( x v k, m k, i) i G x (Ω), m i,0 = E i m 0 (x)dx, i G x (Ω). x v i := 1 [ ] v(x i + x e 1 ) v(x i x e 1 ),..., v(x i + x e d ) v(x i x e d ). 2 x
