Abstract:
Modelling human behavior is important as
it helps preparing for the situation of emergency to save
lives. In this paper we present new methods to simulate
crowd evacuation phenomena by using a physical model.
We focus on applying more effective forces focusing on
Spring-Force as general forces affecting agents as well
as repulsive danger-force, in addition, we propose a new
algorithm for an interaction behavior. We implement our
algorithm in a real-world application which shows that our
model provides results approaching reality and is
promising compared to the other models.
