It has been reported that there are many inconsistencies and incorrect assumptions of human and crowd behavior embedded in existing simulation systems (Still 2000). As noted by Still (2000), “the laws of crowd dynamics have to include the fact that people do not follow the laws of physics; they have a choice in their direction, have no conservation of momentum and can stop and start at will.”

However, due to the scarcity of behavioral data, they tend to rely heavily on assumptions and it is not possible to gauge with confidence their predictive accuracy.”

“the fundamental understanding of the sociological and psychological components of pedestrian and evacuation behaviors is left wanting (Galea 2003).”

X Abstract

Abstract  Many computational tools for the simulation and design of emergency evacuation and egress are now available. However, due to the scarcity of human and social behavioral data, these computational tools rely on assumptions that have been found inconsistent or unrealistic. This paper presents a multi-agent based framework for simulating human and social behavior during emergency evacuation. A prototype system has been developed, which is able to demonstrate some emergent behaviors, such as competitive, queuing, and herding behaviors. For illustration, an example application of the system for safe egress design is provided.
