Abstract

As the security accidents in public places frequently emerge, the research based on crowd evacuation gets more and more people’s attention. Now, the crowd evacuation research has shifted from the traditional live exercise to computer simulation. This paper chose five kinds of crowd evacuation simulation platform and summarized Cellular Automata, Agent-based model, network model they involved. Then, the thesis introduced the software, analyzed the performance of them and stated the respective advantages and disadvantage in order to help user choose proper platform to achieve fast and efficient results of crowd evacuation simulation.
