Modeling Social Group Structures in Pedestrian Crowds
نویسندگان
چکیده
– Group structure is an important characteristic of social crowd. However, up to now, the effect of group structure to crowd behavior has not been widely studied. This is partially due to the fact that modeling group-related behavior is a challenging task because of the many factors that need to be considered. This paper presents a uniformed framework for modeling different group structures in a pedestrian crowd. Both intra-group structure and inter-group relationships are considered and their effects on the group behavior are modeled. Crowd behavior simulations based on two different group structures are developed and promising results are obtained.

متن کاملCollective phenomena in crowds—Where pedestrian dynamics need social psychology
This article is on collective phenomena in pedestrian dynamics during the assembling and dispersal of gatherings. To date pedestrian dynamics have been primarily studied in the natural and engineering sciences. Pedestrians are analyzed and modeled as driven particles revealing self-organizing phenomena and complex transport characteristics. However, pedestrians in crowds also behave as living b...
متن کاملFrom Individual Characters to Large Crowds: Augmenting the Believability of Open-World Games through Exploring Social Emotion in Pedestrian Groups
Crowds of non-player characters improve the game-play experiences of open-world video-games. Grouping is a common phenomenon of crowds and plays an important role in crowd behaviour. Recent crowd simulation research focuses on group modelling in pedestrian crowds and game-designers have argued that the design of non-player characters should capture and exploit the relationship between character...
