Crowd Management and Evacuation Modeling System
نویسنده
چکیده
From time to time, emergencies occur where pedestrians are required to flee large metropolitan areas. Some of these areas may include: concerts, parades, and stadiums. An urban-based pedestrian modeling system can be developed to take into account the set of interdependencies, or specific repercussions, which may affect the outcome when a large number of individuals are required to quickly evacuate urban settings. A number of simulation models are currently in research and development that deal with crowd pressure and herding movements through a confined space. However, most of these models deal solely with indoor structures and do not focus on the problem of safe unified movement through an undefined space. This paper aims to modify and improve the Helbing model (indoor setting) to simulate the urban settings (outdoor settings) using a cluster computer system for massive numbers of pedestrians in various emotional and physical conditions, as they flee a virtual urban environment.

The formulation of mathematical models for crowd dynamics is one current challenge in many fields of applied sciences. It involves the modelisation of the complex behavior of a large number of individuals. In particular, the difficulty lays in describing emerging collective behaviors by means of a relatively small number of local interaction rules between individuals in a crowd. Clearly, the in...

Crowd evacuation from industrial buildings, factories, theatres, protest areas, festivals, exhibitions and religious/sports gatherings is very crucial in many dangerous scenarios, such as fire, earthquakes, threat and attacks. Simulation of crowd evacuation is an integral part of planning for emergency situations and training staff for crow management. In this paper, simulation of crowd evacuat...
متن کاملModeling Crowd Evacuation from Indoor Spaces
A crowd in an emergency situation located inside a public space, they will evacuate from that space. Crowd evacuation is a dynamic process which relies to a variety of environmental factors, as well as crowd specifications itself. To help people out of danger, rapidly and safety, we need to have a previous plan for any public space, which is obtained by collecting information of crowd evacuatio...

Simulating emergency evacuations has grown in popularity since the tragic events of September 11th. Unfortunately there are a large number of modeling, simulation, animation and computer graphics systems available today – many of which are misleading. Models and simulations fall into two main categories: Microscopic and Macroscopic. We highlight the general differences in these approaches outli...
