Abstract:
The floor field cellular automata(FFCA)model is employed for integrating the combined effects of crowd personalities and indoor environments on evacuation to simulate a crowd evacuation with different personalities. Herein, the space-time network diagrams of the environment in a crowd evacuation are constructed. A static floor field is established by computing the least travel cost path. According to their personalities, the evacuating crowd is divided into three categories. Each category is likely to use different strategies to find a balance between energy and time. Every pedestrian will choose a moving destination at each time step using the time-varying FFAC. Pedestrians continuously plan new routes or choose to wait until they reach the exits based on their decision-making mechanisms. Simulated studies are conducted in various complicated environments, including a multi-exit room, a classroom, and a subway. The evacuating crowd has a dense population of different personalities. Simulation results provide a novel tool for revealing the intrinsic connection between psychology, environment, and evacuation.
