X Abstract

For a more efficient and safer design of public facilities, it is important to be able to estimate the behavior of the crowd, to predict heavily used routes or peak flows. For example, a computer simulation of crowd movement can be used to elaborate emergency evacuation plans. The models available to describe the behavior of the crowd usually deal with macroscopic variables like the average speed or the flow. Our purpose is to design an individual- based model of the crowd, hoping that a more refined simulation might be obtained by considering each pedestrian’s behavior.
