Pedestrian Evacuation Simulation Based on Dynamic Parameter Model with Friction

Abstract:

An expanded dynamic parameter model is introduced based on cellular automata. In this model friction is modeled quantitatively. The dynamic parameters including direction parameter and empty parameter are formulated to simplify tactically the process of making decisions for pedestrian evacuation. The pedestrian moving rule is modified by bringing in the conception of friction under high density, corresponding simulations of pedestrian evacuation is carried out. The improved model considers the impact of interactions among pedestrians on the evacuation process. Therefore, it is more accordance with actual circumstance than the original dynamic parameters model.
