Emergent Crowd Behavior from the Microsimulation of Individual Pedestrians
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modeling pedestrian traffic at the micro-level is a relatively young research area. The key to success is driven on the ability to appropriately model crowd behavior that arises in pedestrian traffic. One method of validation for such simulation models examines their ability to reproduce commonly observed crowd behavior. This paper demonstrates how commonly observed crowd behavior emerges from the few simple navigation rules the Intermodal Simulator for the Analysis of Pedestrian Traffic (ISAPT) system employs for each individual pedestrian.

Modeling the Evacuation of Large-Scale Crowded Pedestrian Facilities
Most of these accidents occur as pedestrians try to evacuate the facility in panic mode. Thus, increasing attention has been given to planning for the evacuation of these facilities by considering of all possible emergencies. The objective is to minimize the period required to evacuate a facility while ensuring the safety of all pedestrians. Evaluation of the effectiveness of an evacuation plan...
متن کاملPHuNAC Model: Simulation of Human Nature and Personalities of Autonomous Crowds
The swarm behavior of pedestrians in a crowd, generally, causes a global pattern to emerge. A pedestrian crowd simulation system must have this emergence in order to prove its effectiveness. For this reason, the aim of this work is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the PHuNAC model (Personalities’ Human’s Nature of Autonomous Crowds) and also prove that the swarm behavior of pedestrians’ agen...
متن کاملHow cognitive heuristics can explain social interactions in spatial movement.
The movement of pedestrian crowds is a paradigmatic example of collective motion. The precise nature of individual-level behaviours underlying crowd movements has been subject to a lively debate. Here, we propose that pedestrians follow simple heuristics rooted in cognitive psychology, such as 'stop if another step would lead to a collision' or 'follow the person in front'. In other words, our ...
متن کاملA data-driven model of pedestrian following and emergent crowd behavior
Pedestrian following is a common behavior, and may provide a key link between individual locomotion and crowd dynamics. Here, we present a model for following that is motivated by cognitive science and grounded in empirical data. In Experiment 1, we collected data from leader-follower pairs, and showed that a simple speed-matching model is sufficient to account for behavior. In Experiment 2, we...
متن کاملTowards an integrated approach to crowd analysis and crowd synthesis: A case study and first results
Studies related to crowds of pedestrians, both those of theoretical nature and application oriented ones, have generally focused on either the analysis or the synthesis of the phenomena related to the interplay between individual pedestrians, each characterised by goals, preferences and potentially relevant relationships with others, and the environment in which they are situated. The cases in ...
