Praise for this book

From the reviews:

"The book is intended for researchers, engineers, and graduate students in applied complexity and nonlinear dynamics as well as in pedestrian dynamics." (IEEE Control Systems Magazine, Vol. 29, October, 2009)

"This book is dedicated the developing pedestrian dynamic models that can be used in the control and investigation of crowd behavior. ... This book is very interesting. It considered actual theme about evacuation strategy. The theory bases on the analogy with air dynamical processes and uses modern mathematical methods, as Lyapunov's theory for estimation stability of control processes. This book may be very useful for scientists, post graduate students who work in area of control strategy evacuation." (Yuri N. Sankin, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1237, 2012)
