Towards Modeling Activity Scheduling in an Agent-based Model for Pedestrian Dynamics Simulation

In this paper we present an extension of an agentbased model representing pedestrian dynamics in order to include elements related to activity scheduling and the management of events. In particular, we will focus on the guidelines to analyze the scenario, identifying activities and the temporal relationships among them, such as how events that happen in an environment and change its configurati...

A Framework for Group Modeling in Agent-Based Pedestrian Crowd Simulations

Pedestrian crowd simulation explores crowd behaviors in virtual environments. It is extensively studied in many areas, such as safety and civil engineering, transportation, social science, entertainment industry and so on. As a common phenomenon in pedestrian crowds, grouping can play important roles in crowd behaviors. To achieve more realistic simulations, it is important to support group mod...

A Framework for Modeling Social Groups in Agent-Based Pedestrian Crowd Simulations

Grouping is a common phenomenon in pedestrian crowds and social groups can have significant impacts on crowd behavior. Despite its importance, how to model social groups in pedestrian crowd simulations is still an open and challenging issue. This paper presents a framework for modeling social groups in agent-based pedestrian crowd simulations. The developed framework integrates agent behavior m...

Experimental and Real World Applications of Agent-Based Pedestrian Group Modeling

The simulation of pedestrian dynamics is a consolidated area of application for agent-based models: successful case studies can be found in the literature and off-the-shelf simulators are commonly employed by decision makers and consultancy companies. These models, however, generally do not consider the explicit representation of pedestrians aggregations (groups), the related occurring relation...
