Validation of Pedestrian Groups in Agent-based Simulation

Agent - based simulation of pedestrian behaviour

Agent-based Simulation of Pedestrian Evacuation in Virtual Geographic Environment

Agent-based model has found great interest in simulation of pedestrian evacuation since it better represent the intelligent and self-organized behavior patterns of pedestrians. However, model validation and the user’s cognitive perspective have always been the two challenges in agent-based simulation. Therefore, this paper presents an approach to implement agent-based simulation of pedestrian e...

MAKKSim: Dealing with Pedestrian Groups in MAS-based Crowd Simulation

The paper presents MAKKSim, an agent-based tool for pedestrian dynamics simulation. The software is a second generation tool in which the presence of pedestrian groups and some cultural elements are explicitly modelled and can be set by the end-user. In this work, an overview on the MAKKSim model and software architecture is presented, by means of the definition of agent behaviours and the anal...

Simulation of Pedestrian Agent Crowds, with Crisis Simulation of Pedestrian Agent Crowds, with Crisis

Multiple application areas have an interest in pedestrian dynamics. These range from urban design of public areas to evacuation dynamics to effective product placement within a store. In Hoogendoorn et al [Hoogendoorn 2002] multiple abstractions utilized in simulations or calculations involving pedestrian agents include (1) cost models for selected route choice, (2) macroscopic pedestrian opera...

Validation of agent based crowd egress simulation

Crowd behavior simulation has been an active field of research because of its utility in several applications such as emergency planning and evacuations, designing and planning pedestrian areas, subway or rail-road stations, besides in education, training and entertainment. The most advanced and realistic simulation systems employ intelligent autonomous agents with a balance between individual ...
