Evacuation Simulation through Formal Emotional Agent based Modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evacuation Simulation is recognised as an important tool for assessing design choices for urban areas. Although a number of approaches have been introduced, it is widely acceptable that such simulation scenarios demand modelling of emotional aspects of evacuees, and how these affect their behaviour. The present work, proposes that formal agent modelling based on eX-machines can rigorously define but also naturally lead to realistic simulations of such scenarios. eX-machines can model agent behaviour influenced by emotions, including social aspects of emotions, such as emotion contagion. The developed formal model is refined to simulation code, that is able to visualise and simulate crowd believable behaviour.

Agent-based simulation of affordance-based human behaviors in emergency evacuation
Complex cognitive processes corresponding to human control behaviors cannot be easily inferred using (1) a logical rule-based model, (2) a statistical model, or (3) an analytical predictive model. Predicting human behaviors in complex and uncertain environments like emergency evacuation is considered almost impossible (at least NP hard) in systems theory. In this paper, we explore simulating hu...
متن کاملA Formal Approach to Model Emotional Agents Behaviour in Disaster Management Situations
Emotions in Agent and Multi-Agent Systems change their behaviour to a more ’natural’ way of performing tasks thus increasing believability. This has various implications on the overall performance of a system. In particular in situations where emotions play an important role, such as disaster management, it is a challenge to infuse artificial emotions into agents, especially when a plethora of ...
متن کاملModelling Agents with Uml: an Example in Building Security Evalution
This paper proposes some extensions to UML for agent-based modelling and simulation, where the agents follow either a purely reactive or a hybrid layered approach (reactivity combined with proactivity). The extensions include notations for sensors, effectors and agent’s capabilities and their specification in a formal way. In this work, agent-based simulation is also proposed as a method to hel...
متن کاملEmotional contagion model for group evacuation simulation
The key role of emotions in decision-making process of human beings has been highlighted recently. Our research focuses on fear-related emotions and their positive impact on the survival capabilities of human beings in case of crisis situations. In this paper, we proposed a new model of emotional contagion based on some main findings in social psychology. This model was formalized mathematicall...
متن کاملIntegration of Smoke Effect and Blind Evacuation Strategy (SEBES) within fire evacuation simulation
Many fire evacuation models have been proposed in recent years to better simulate such as an emergency situation. However most of them do not respect a recommendation of fire evacuation experts regarding the fact that evacuees should follow the boundaries of obstacles or wall to find the exits when their visibility is limited by smoke. This paper presents an agent-based evacuation model with Sm...
