Perce-Foule is a research project (2017-2020) funded by an Investissement d'Avenir of Labex  (ANR-10-LABX-0039-PALM). It investigates the dynamics of intermediate-to-high-density crowds. Its main goal is to pave the way for a mechanical framework for the dense crowd dynamics, with a physics-based approach combining controlled experiments, modelling, and passive real-life measurements. We will also compare various methods of pedestrian tracking. We are in particular interested in the use of Kinect cameras, which preserve the privacy of the pedestrians. The principal investigators are:  Cécile APPERT-ROLLAND (Laboratoire de Physique Théorique, CNRS & Univ. Paris Sud) and
Alexandre NICOLAS (Laboratoire de Physique Théorique et Modèles Statistiques, CNRS & Univ. Paris Sud).
Interns are also involved: Aymeric DUIGOU-MAJUMDAR,
Ioannis TOULOUPAS,
Tom MARZIN and
Étienne PINSARD.
Besides, a team of students from École polytechnique has been studying a facet of crowd dynamics in the framework of their Scientific Teamwork Project. The final report can be found here. |
