Prediction of Human Flow in Disaster Situations: A Multi-agent Based Modelling and Simulation

© 2015 IEEE. Simulation of human flow in virtual reality systemplays an important part in the research of microscopic humanflow behaviour in disaster situations. But developing such simulationis a difficult work because of its inherent complexity. In thispaper, we proposed a multi-agent simulation to analyze humanflow characteristics in disaster affected area and the interactionmechanism among human or between human and affected areaduring the time of disaster. Especially, we had a close look at thebehaviours which influence the human flow for collision avoidanceand flow of victims in disaster situations. As a result, the humanflow has been derived and it helps to reduce the amount of damageduring the disaster situations. The derived output of the modeland simulation is flexible and can be used in different conditionsfor any kinds of analysis.
