Abstract

This brief note is an introduction to the special issue devoted to modeling, qualitative analysis and simulations of vehicular traffic, crowds and swarms, viewed as living, hence complex, systems. The first part focuses on the conceptual difficulties to be tackled when dealing with the most challenging topics of this subject, mainly on interactions and complexity features. The second part provides a brief overview and critical analysis of the contents. Finally, some perspective ideas on conceivable future research objectives are brought to the reader's attention.
