Simulating the evacuating behavior of people in the crowd using the agent based Model

This paper aims to develop the multi-agent based simulation model which considered the evacuees’ cognition to the crowd. This model defines an evacuee as an agent, who collects information from surroundings, such as a road, cross, damaged structure and situation of the crowd. Furthermore, this model constructs a simulation platform which enables to act agent autonomously. Our simulation model focuses on information exchange between evacuate agents and guide agents and their decision making. This paper develops disaggregate route choice model which considering their cognition. To specify, this model is arranged Multinomial discrete choice model based on the questionnaire survey which include their evaluation of alternatives.
