Abstract

We present a model for the flow of pedestrians that describes features typical of this flow, such as the fall due to panic in the outflow of people through a door. The mathematical techniques essentially depend on the use of non‐classical shocks in scalar conservation laws. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
