Traffic flow
The modeling and analysis of traffic phenomena can be performed at a macroscopic scale
by using partial differential equations derived from fluid dynamics. Such models give a description
of collective dynamics in terms of the spatial density
Opale's research focuses on the study of macroscopic models of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, and how optimal control approaches can be used in traffic management. The project opens new perspectives of inter-disciplinary collaborations on urban planning and crowd dynamics analysis.
