Agent-Based Approach in Evacuation Modeling

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 6070))

Abstract

The article presents an agent-based approach to modeling of pedestrian evacuation. It includes some theoretical aspect of using the agents techniques as well as case study of evacuation tests realized by the authors. Results from real data gained from experiments are compared with data from designed simulations. The use of agent-based methods gives promising perspective in pedestrian evacuation modeling.
