To move towards a quantitative physics-based understanding of crowd dynamics, over the previous years, we established large-scale observational experiments held in real-life settings (stations, festivals, museums), aimed at investigating statistical features of pedestrian motion. Via homemade high-fidelity tracking systems, we have collected datasets including millions of trajectories acquired with and without external influencing stimuli (i.e., crowd control measures, like signage or visual cues). In this talk, I will discuss the issue of modeling in (statistically) quantitative terms via Langevin-like equations and variational principles the observed dynamics, including PDFs of individual velocity, position, contact-avoidance, as well as path choice.
