The International Conference on Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics is carried out biennially by scientists and practitioners interested in pedestrian and evacuation dynamics.
The field of pedestrian movement and evacuation dynamics is an inter and multidisciplinary field. The modelling of evacuation and pedestrian dynamics has evolved from calculations based entirely on physical processes such as granular flow to simulation that now begins to include psycho-social processes accounting for decision making and group behaviour. New developments in AI, augmented reality, gaming and 3D modelling are emerging topics in this field. Experimental works have evolved to consider sophisticated experiments to support new theories in this field.
Accessibility and egressibility, and the relationship between them, has moved to the forefront of crowd dynamics. This is further complicated as a building is used according to a number of management concerns as safety, security and operations, that are employed under different scenarios such as emergency and non-emergency. The need for analysis to assess the effectiveness of management procedures is therefore significant and expanding.
Submission Guidelines
To present a paper at PED2021, an abstract (in English only) of no longer than one page A4 should be submitted electronically via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ped2021 before May 15, 2021. The abstract template can be download here: https://conference.eng.unimelb.edu.au/pedestrian-evacuation-dynamics/abstract-submission-template.docx
If the abstract is accepted, you will be invited to submit a full-length manuscript (optional) by 31 July 2021 for peer review. The review will be undertaken by referees drawn from the International Committee and other prominent researchers from around the world. Final acceptance of a paper will be based on peer review of the full paper.
List of Topics
PED2021 welcomes contributions from physics, mathematics, engineering, computer science and vision, psychology and sociology as well as contributions from practitioners.
