The effects of distance in dynamic psychological factors of one-dimensional queue

Abstract

Psychological dynamics that are created by the interactions among persons within One-Dimensional Queue, specially the spread of actions from person to person is discussed in this paper. The instability of psychological dynamic factors can be overcome by persons’ interactions in a crowd dynamic. Surowiecki‘s theory states that the individuals in a crowd are not affected by each other in terms of attitudes. This state indicates wisdom of crowd while Gustav Le Bon’s theory is in contrast with. The purpose of this paper is to prove that Surowiecki‘s theory is originated from Gustav Le Bon’s theory if there is a large distance between the members of group in the one dimensional queue. This paper proposes a dynamic crowd model by Bergey, Spieser and Davison based on Gustav Le Bon’s theory for static crowd model with variable distance interaction; resulting into better control of crowd dynamics using distance interaction.
