The models of collective behavior of humans can account for a number of specific features of social behavior under certain conditions. The advantage of the models is that by changing the parameters different situations can be easily created. Models adequately describing group phenomena can be used for predictions. In addition to such more concrete possible applications of simulations as the design of escape routes or better networks, the models are useful in providing a deeper insight into the mechanisms behind such collective phenomena as synchronization or panic.
