ABSTRACT
The area of crowd simulation has been widely explored in several contexts from entertainment to safety purposes. In this paper we present an approach to simulate the evacuation of crowds in facilities such as hospitals, geriatric clinics, orphanages and etc. We use Snook tables to parametrize the effort of people to push patients impacting the people speed when evacuating a specific environment. In addition, we compare our method with another simulation in a hospital.

Simulating Crowds with OCEAN Personality Traits
IVA '18: Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Intelligent Virtual AgentsMost of the techniques available nowadays for crowd simulation are focused on a specific situation, like people evacuation. Even if one consider heterogeneous crowds, very few of existing methodologies consider the psychological traits of individuals in ...
Simulating Crowd Evacuation: From Comfort to Panic Situations
IVA '18: Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Intelligent Virtual AgentsCrowd simulation has its greatest utility in the study of safety measures for crowded events. However, total evacuation time, which is the most important feature in crowd evacuation, can vary depending on the population, the environment, the adopted ...
Simulating effects of signage, groups, and crowds on emergent evacuation patterns
Studies of past emergency events have revealed that occupants' behaviors, egress signage system, local geometry, and environmental constraints affect crowd movement and govern the building evacuation. In addition to complying with code and standards, ...
