abstract="A fluid-dynamic description for the collective movement of pedestrians is developed on the basis of a Boltzmann-like gas-kinetic model. The differences between these pedestrian-specific equations and those for ordinary fluids are worked out; they concern, for example, the mechanism of relaxation to equilibrium, the role of &quot;pressure,'' the special influence of internal friction, and the origin of &quot;temperature.'' Some interesting results are derived that can be compared to real situations--for example, the development of walking lanes and of pedestrian jams, the propagation of waves, and behavior on a dance floor. Possible applications of the model to town- and traffic-planning are outlined.  <p>Language: en</p>",
