“…One way to calibrate models is to take a controlled approach, i.e conduct experiments on a smaller scale, in which groups of people are directed to move under specific constraints. This controlled environment can provide insight into questions such as how pedestrians walk in social groups [263], the quantification of pressure and density in different types of bottlenecks and junctions [264], the perception of personal space [265], the clogging effects and instabilities in narrow areas [266,267] and the asymmetric flow produced by stairs [268]. One factor that is common to such experiment-based research is the generation and analysis of "fundamental diagrams" [269] (Fig.…”

Recent years have witnessed an explosion of extensive geolocated datasets related to human movement, enabling scientists to quantitatively study individual and collective mobility patterns, and to generate models that can capture and reproduce the spatiotemporal structures and regularities in human trajectories. The study of human mobility is especially important for applications such as estimating migratory flows, traffic forecasting, urban planning, and epidemic modeling. In this survey, we review the approaches developed to reproduce various mobility patterns, with the main focus on recent developments. This review can be used both as an introduction to the fundamental modeling principles of human mobility, and as a collection of technical methods applicable to specific mobility-related problems. The review organizes the subject by differentiating between individual and population mobility and also between shortrange and long-range mobility. Throughout the text the description of the theory is intertwined with real-world applications.
