In this talk, we first present transport equations with non-local velocities, that are used in several models of pedestrian crowds, road traffic and opinion dynamics. We describe a complete framework for existence and uniqueness of solutions in Wasserstein spaces [1,2]. We then define some numerical schemes to compute solutions, and prove their convergence [1]. Finally, we describe our recent results of control of transport equations, focusing in particular on cooperative crowds, such as the Cucker-Smale model [3].
