Mathematicians uncover the logic behind how people walk in crowds

Mathematicians uncover the logic behind how people walk in crowds.
The findings could help planners design safer, more efficient pedestrian thoroughfares.
MIT instructor Karol Bacik and his colleagues studied the flow of human crowds and developed a way to predict when pedestrian paths will transition from orderly to entangled.
Researchers used equations of fluid flow to predict the flow of pedestrians in a crosswalk.
The equations predicted that pedestrians would form lanes when they walked relatively straight across, from opposite directions.
This order largely holds until people start veering across at more extreme angles.
The more disorder there is in a crowd, the less efficiently it moves.
