Human Relationship Modeling in Agent-Based Crowd Evacuation Simulation

چکیده
Crowd evacuation simulations are becoming a tool to analyze and assess the safety of occupants in buildings. Agent-based simulation provides a platform on which to compute individual and collective behaviors that occur in crowds. We propose a human behavior model in evacuation based on the Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) model and Helbing’s agent behavior model. Human relationships affect the states of BDI at each simulation step, and altruism forces among agents are introduced in Helbing’s model to affect agents’ intentions in calculating agent movements. Two evacuation scenarios are examined so that the results match quantitatively and qualitatively with past disasters. The simulations reveal typical behaviors in a crowd evacuation; for example, family-minded human behaviors that lead to interactions in the crowd and other behaviors. The simulation indicates that due to the interaction it takes a longer time to evacuate from buildings in actual situations.

Computational Framework Incorporating Human Behaviors for Egress Simulations
Studies of past emergency events indicate that evacuating occupants often exhibit social behaviors that affect the evacuation process. This paper describes a multiagent-based simulation framework that enables the modeling of social behaviors during evacuation. Each agent is modeled using a three-level representation that allows users to incorporate individual, group, and crowd behavioral rules ...

متن کاملA Federated Agent-based Crowd Simulation Architecture
Crowd control has become increasingly important in urbanized military operations such as peace keeping, riot control, disaster management, emergency evacuation, and rescue operations. In this paper, we describe an architecture for simulating virtual crowd to aid in the training, planning and decision making process in the area of military operations. Our system makes use of the light-weight age...
متن کاملThe impact of culture on crowd dynamics: an empirical approach
In agent-based social simulation, crowd models are used to generate agent behaviors that should correspond closely to human crowds. Despite significant progress in this area, many existing crowd models do not yet account for important cultural factors in crowd behavior, and even more so, for mixed-culture crowds. Moreover, evaluation of crowd models accounting for culture is particularly diffic...
متن کاملAgent-Based Modeling and Simulation on Emergency Evacuation
Crowd stampedes and evacuation induced by panic caused by emergences often lead to fatalities as people are crushed, injured, trampled or even dead. Such phenomena may be triggered in life-threatening situations such as fires, explosions in crowded buildings. Emergency evacuation simulation has recently attracted the interest of a rapidly increasing number of scientists. This paper presents an ...
