Towards an Agent-Based Proxemic Model for Pedestrian and Group Dynamics: Motivations and First Experiments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces the first experiments of an innovative approach to the modeling and simulation of crowds of pedestrians considering the presence of groups as a crucial element influencing overall system dynamics. In-silico experimental results are discussed in relation to in-vitro experiments (experimental observations on the movement of pedestrians and groups).

Towards an Application of Graph Structure Analysis to a MAS-based Model of Proxemic Distances in Pedestrian Systems
This paper proposes the use of methods for network analysis in order to study the properties of a dynamic graph that model the interaction among agents in an agent-based model. This model is based on Multi Agent System definition and simulates a multicultural crowd in which proxemics theory and distance perception are taking into account. After a discussion about complex network analysis and cr...
متن کاملTowards an Agent-Based Proxemic Model for Pedestrian and Group Dynamic
Models for the simulation of pedestrian dynamics and crowds of pedestrians have already been successfully applied to several scenarios and case studies, off-the-shelf simulators can be found on the market and they are commonly employed by end-user and consultancy companies. However, these models are the result of a first generation of research efforts considering individuals, their interactions...
متن کاملConflicting Tendencies in Pedestrian Wayfinding Decisions: a Multi-Agent Model Encompassing Proxemics and Imitation
Computer-based simulation of pedestrian dynamics is a consolidated application of agent-based models but it still presents open challenges. The wayfinding of pedestrians is a fundamental aspect to allow the application of such models on complex environments. Several novel approaches have recently been proposed in the literature, yet the lack of empirical knowledge still limits the reliability o...

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...
