During the San Fermin festival, scientists observed unique crowd movements in the Plaza Consistorial, focusing on asymmetric orbital oscillations that emerged organically among festival-goers. This study aims to understand these collective behaviors beyond individual actions or external influences. The researchers hope their findings will contribute to new models for monitoring and managing dense crowds, to avoid dangerous situations like the notorious 2010 Love Parade disaster, enhancing public safety during large gatherings.
The researchers were able to identify asymmetric orbital oscillations within the festival-goers, movements that emerged organically, independent of external factors or individual actions.
By studying these unique crowd dynamics, the team aims to develop a model that could help monitor and manage large crowds, potentially preventing tragedies like the Love Parade disaster.
