2. 1. Footbridge Dynamics : Human-Structure Interaction

   Author : Emma Zäll; Raid Karoumi; Mahir Ülker-Kaustell; Andreas Andersson; Peter Van den Broeck; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Dynamics; vibration; footbridge; pedestrian bridge; human-structure interaction; runner; running loads; simplified models; Dynamik; vibration; gångbro; människa-bro-interaktion; löpare; löparlaster; förenklade modeller; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap;

   Abstract : For aesthetic reasons and due to an increased demand for cost-effective and environmentally friendly civil engineering structures, there is a trend in designing light and slender structures. Consequently, many modern footbridges are susceptible to excessive vibrations caused by human-induced loads. READ MORE

4. 2. On the dynamics of footbridges : A theoretical approach and a comparison between running and walking loads

   Author : Daniel Colmenares; Raid Karoumi; Andreas Andersson; Mahir Ülker Kaustell; Pedro Museros Romero; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; footbridges; dynamics; human induced loads; human structure interaction; harmonic load; continuous beam; gångbroar; dynamik; fotgängarlast; samverkan mellan fotgängare och bro; harmonisk last; kontinuerlig balk.; Structural Engineering and Bridges; Bro- och stålbyggnad;

   Abstract : The dynamic behaviour of lightweight footbridges is often susceptible to HumanInduced Loads (HILs). Generally HILs are taken into account as moving harmonicfunctions in which the loading frequency represents the step frequency of the pedestrians. READ MORE

5. 3. Models for coupled active-passive population dynamics : Mathematical analysis and simulation

   Author : Thi Kim Thoa Thieu; Adrian Muntean; Matteo Colangeli; Grigorios A. Pavliotis; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pedestrian dynamics; simple exclusion process; Forchheimer flows; Skorohod equations; nonlinear coupling; heterogenous domain; homogenization; drafting; evacuation; Matematik; Mathematics;

   Abstract : In this dissertation, we study models for coupled active--passive pedestrian dynamics from mathematical analysis and simulation perspectives. The general aim is to contribute to a better understanding of complex pedestrian flows. READ MORE

6. 4. Topics in the mean-field type approach to pedestrian crowd modeling and conventions

   Author : Alexander Aurell; Boualem Djehiche; Xiaoming Hu; Roland Malhamé; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pedestrian crowds; stochastic differential equations; mean field; stochastic control; games; backward dynamics; sticky boundary; stochastic maximum principle; social conventions; folkmassor; stokastiska differentialekvationer; medelfält; stokastisk styrning; limaktiga randvillkor; stokastiska maximumprincipen; dynamik med ändvillkor; spel; konventioner;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of five appended papers, primarily addressingtopics in pedestrian crowd modeling and the formation of conventions.The first paper generalizes a pedestrian crowd model for competingsubcrowds to include nonlocal interactions and an arbitrary (butfinite) number of subcrowds.

7. 5. Infrastructure-free pedestrian localization

   Author : John-Olof Nilsson; Peter Händel; Michael Angermann; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Knowledge of your own and other's positions are frequently a prerequisite for acting, leading others, and interacting in and with the environment; to retrieve relevant information and to process and interpret it; and to understand, compile, and learn from observations of the surrounding and its dynamics. This holds for humans as well as for machines and systems made for supporting and controlling them. READ MORE
