Abstract
This review aims to present recent developments in modeling and control of multiagent systems. A particular focus is set on crowd dynamics characterized by complex interactions among agents, also called social interactions, and large-scale systems. Specifically, in a crowd each individual agent interacts with a field generated by the other agents and the environment. These systems can be modeled at the microscopic scale by ordinary differential equations, while an alternative description at the mesoscopic scale is given by a partial differential equation for the propagation of the probability density of the agents. Control actions can be applied at the individual level as well as at the level of the corresponding fields. This article presents and compares different control types, and the specific application to multilane, multiclass traffic is developed in some detail, showing the main tools at work in a hybrid setting with relevant impacts on autonomous driving. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Control, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems, Volume 14 is May 2023. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
期刊介绍:
The Annual Review of Control, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems offers comprehensive reviews on theoretical and applied developments influencing autonomous and semiautonomous systems engineering. Major areas covered include control, robotics, mechanics, optimization, communication, information theory, machine learning, computing, and signal processing. The journal extends its reach beyond engineering to intersect with fields like biology, neuroscience, and human behavioral sciences. The current volume has transitioned to open access through the Subscribe to Open program, with all articles published under a CC BY license.
