In this chapter we introduce the general concepts dealing with the description of crowd dynamics characterized by a large number of individuals. We also define the so called panic and highlight its dynamic effects, such as the Braess’ paradox for pedestrian flows. We finally explain from the modeling point of view the reasons of the fail of the classical theory for conservation laws to attempt at the description of the arise of panic and, consequently, justify the introduction of a non-classical theory.
