Agent-Based Crowd Evacuation Modeling in Buildings

Article Preview

Abstract:

Crowd evacuation in large and complex buildings is becoming a challenging direction in the field of emergency management. In the paper, we present an agent-based approach to modeling crowd evacuation, including navigator model and crowd movement model. Visualization results show these models can access to realistic evacuation process and achieve the goal of rapid evacuation.
