Simulating and Controlling Civilian Crowds in Robocup Rescue
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new civilian crowd simulator for the Robocup Rescue Simulation that allows to represent large numbers of civilians and in which psychologically and socially plausible crowd behavior emerges. As a new challenge for the Rescue Simulation competition, the simulator also allows police agents to indirectly influence crowd behavior by temporarily blocking roads. The simulator can be used as an stand-alone tool for interactive or automatic testing of strategies for crowd control, but will also be integrated into the Rescue Simulation environment.

Successful Search and Rescue in Simulated Disaster Areas
RoboCupRescue Simulation is a large-scale multi-agent simulation of urban disasters where, in order to save lives and minimize damage, rescue teams must effectively cooperate despite sensing and communication limitations. This paper presents the comprehensive search and rescue approach of the ResQ Freiburg team, the winner in the RoboCupRescue Simulation league at RoboCup 2004. Specific contrib...
متن کاملCrowd Modeling and Control in a RoboCup Rescue domain
Robocup Rescue is a research initiative on disaster mitigation, search and rescue problems. Rescue Simulation is a sub-domain that domain aims at increasing the understanding of disasters at a macroscopic(i.e.city-wide) level and exploring new ways for disaster management. In this graduation project, we extended the simulation with a model of human crowd behavior. Also explored is, how crowds c...
متن کاملEnhancing Agent Capabilities in a Large Rescue Simulation System
This paper presents an enhanced and generalized model for agent behavior in a large simulation system, called RoboCup Rescue Simulation System (RCRSS). Currently the RCRSS agent model is not flexible enough to support mixed agent behaviors. Our solution extends the RCRSS and YabAPI development frameworks to create an enhanced agent model, the HelperCivilian (HC) [8]. The aim is to simulate situ...
متن کاملApplication of Parallel Scenario Description for RoboCupRescue Civilian Agent
We propose a novel agent framework to describe behaviors of the general public in rescue simulations and implement an application for “Risk-Communication for disaster rescur”. Conventional agent description languages are designed to model intellectual behaviors of human that solve a task to achieve a single goal. In a disaster situation, however, it is difficult to model civilians’ behaviors su...

USARSIM is a worldwide used robot simulator deployed in Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) and in the context of the RoboCup Rescue Real Robot contest. This paper describes the USARSIM simulator for KURT2 and Kurt3D robot platforms, which we are using in both education and research. As it simulates on the device level, a seamless integration of real robot control software with the simulations becom...
