Occupant Evacuation Based on Cellular Automata Involving Repulsion

Article Preview

Abstract:

The dynamic parameter model based on cellular automata was not taken into account interaction between pedestrian and environment,it resulted in quite different from that of in real life.So a new model was proposed by taking into account one of the interactions:repulsion.In the present work, evacuation involving repulsion problem was studied in the room with single exit.The expanded model based on dynamic parameter model is introduced by using the quantitative of repulsion.The model could be used to explore the different degree of panic through repulsion.The corresponding simulations of pedestrian evacuation with repulsion were carried out. It extends the constraint where the original model was applied. The improved model is more accordance with actual circumstance than the original dynamic parameters model.The improved model is not only expected to model evacuations in detail but also has high efficiency.
