Robust Weighted Averaging Accounts for Recruitment Into Collective Motion in Human Crowds

Agent-based models of “flocking” and “schooling” have shown that a weighted average of neighbor velocities, with weights that decay gradually with distance, yields emergent collective motion. Weighted averaging thus offers a potential mechanism of self-organization that recruits an increasing, but s...
