Simulation of Social Behaviors in Virtual Crowd
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel communication model to simulate various crowd behaviors such as riot. Our communication model is heavily based on the results from sociology research. Collective behaviors can emerge out of social processes such as emotion contagion and conformity effect among individual agents. The communication model has been implemented in our crowd simulation system, IMCrowd, in which each agent has a local perception and autonomous abilities to improvise their actions. Simulations on riot formation and riot control are demonstrated as an application example of IMCrowd.

A Framework for Group Modeling in Agent-Based Pedestrian Crowd Simulations
Pedestrian crowd simulation explores crowd behaviors in virtual environments. It is extensively studied in many areas, such as safety and civil engineering, transportation, social science, entertainment industry and so on. As a common phenomenon in pedestrian crowds, grouping can play important roles in crowd behaviors. To achieve more realistic simulations, it is important to support group mod...
متن کاملModeling Imitational Behavior Via Social Comparison Theory
Modeling crowd behaviors is an important challenge for intelligent virtual agents. We propose a general cognitive model of simulating crowd behaviors, based on Festinger’s Social Comparison Theory (SCT), a prominent social psychology theory. We present the use of the SCT model (using the Soar cognitive architecture) in the generation of imitational behavior in loosely-coupled groups and show th...
متن کاملScalable Behaviors for Crowd Simulation
Crowd simulation for virtual environments offers many challenges centered on the trade-offs between rich behavior, control and computational cost. In this paper we present a new approach to controlling the behavior of agents in a crowd. Our method is scalable in the sense that increasingly complex crowd behaviors can be created without a corresponding increase in the complexity of the agents. O...
متن کاملA Data-driven Method for Crowd Simulation using a Holonification Model
In this paper, we present a data-driven method for crowd simulation with holonification model. With this extra module, the accuracy of simulation will increase and it generates more realistic behaviors of agents. First, we show how to use the concept of holon in crowd simulation and how effective it is. For this reason, we use simple rules for holonification. Using real-world data, we model the...
متن کاملSimulating Riot for Virtual Crowds with a Social Communication Model
In this work we attempt to build a communication model to simulate a large variety of collective behaviors in the course of riot formation for virtual crowd. The proposed crowd simulation system, IMCrowd, has been implemented with a multi-agent system in which each agent has a local perception and autonomous abilities to improvise their actions. The algorithms used in our communication model in...
