Simulation of evacuation processes using a bionics-inspired cellular automaton model for pedestrian dynamics

摘要: We present simulations of evacuation processes using a recently introduced cellular automaton model for pedestrian dynamics. This applies bionics approach to describe the interaction between pedestrians ideas from chemotaxis. Here we study rather simple situation, namely large room with one or two doors. It is shown that variation parameters allows different types behaviour, regular panic. find non-monotonic dependence times on coupling constants. These depend strength herding minimal some intermediate values couplings, i.e. proper combination and use knowledge about shortest way exit.
