Module 3 - Crowd Dynamics (static and dynamic crowds)

In this module, we outline the principles of crowd dynamics. We focus on risks associated with packing density (static crowds) and moving space requirements (dynamic crowds) for crowd safety and crowd risk analysis. We also outline the formation of “shock waves” in the crowd and how they develop. The module has two assessments for system design.
