This chapter provides an introduction to the contents of Gibelli (inCrowd Dynamics, Volume 2?Theory, Models, and Safety Problems. Modelingand Simulation in Science, Engineering, and Technology, Birkhäuser, New York,2020) and a general critical analysis on modeling, simulation, and control of humancrowds with emphasis on research perspectives. The contents are organized in threeparts: firstly, three key topics are stated which will be probably the focus of futureresearch; Subsequently, the contents of Chaps. ?Artificial Neural Networks for theEstimation of Pedestrian Interaction Forces?Mixed Traffic Simulation of Cars andPedestrians for Transportation Policy Assessment? are summarized by setting themin the context of the aforementioned key research topics; finally, some promisingresearch directions are presented and discussed.
