| Summary of Lecture: | Mobility plays a major role for social and economic activity. From the point of view of physics, human mobility constitutes a complex system with many interacting particles such as cars, drivers, or pedestrians. Understanding the complex dynamics of these systems is essential to understand the effects of new modes of transport, such as car-sharing and ride-hailing, the impact of new technologies such as electric mobility, as well as processes that are driven by human travel, such as disease spreading. In this course, we discuss fundamental concepts of network theory, nonlinear dynamics and game theory required for quantitatively modelling the complex dynamics of mobility systems. We exemplify these modelling approaches by discussing seminal results on the dynamics of human mobility, such as the emergence of congestion in road and pedestrian dynamics. Exercises include the computational implementation of these problems and algorithms and their analysis with the methods we have learned. More details are available in the OPAL course. |
