Traffic and Granular Flow '15

The Conference on Traffic and Granular Flow brings togetherinternational researchers from different fields ranging from physics tocomputer science and engineering to discuss the latest developments intraffic-related systems. Originally conceived to facilitate new ideas byconsidering the similarities of traffic and granular flow, TGF'15, organised byDelft University of Technology, now covers a broad range of topics related todriven particle and transport systems. Besides the classical topics of granularflow and highway traffic, its scope includes data transport (Internet traffic),pedestrian and evacuation dynamics, intercellular transport, swarm behaviourand the collective dynamics of other biological systems. Recent advances inmodelling, computer simulation and phenomenology are presented, and prospectsfor applications, for example to traffic control, are discussed. The conferenceexplores the interrelations between the above-mentioned fields and offers theopportunity to stimulate interdisciplinary research, exchange ideas, and meetmany experts in these areas of research.

Summary

The Conference on Traffic and Granular Flow brings together
international researchers from different fields ranging from physics to
computer science and engineering to discuss the latest developments in
traffic-related systems. Originally conceived to facilitate new ideas by
considering the similarities of traffic and granular flow, TGF'15, organised by
Delft University of Technology, now covers a broad range of topics related to
driven particle and transport systems. Besides the classical topics of granular
flow and highway traffic, its scope includes data transport (Internet traffic),
pedestrian and evacuation dynamics, intercellular transport, swarm behaviour
and the collective dynamics of other biological systems. Recent advances in
modelling, computer simulation and phenomenology are presented, and prospects
for applications, for example to traffic control, are discussed. The conference
explores the interrelations between the above-mentioned fields and offers the
opportunity to stimulate interdisciplinary research, exchange ideas, and meet
many experts in these areas of research.
