论文摘要
当引入恐慌时，大群人和新兴人群动态的集体行为可能会产生危险和灾难性的结果。这些事件可能是由紧急情况引起的，例如大型建筑物中的火灾或人们冲入密集的区域时的盖章效果。在本文中，我们将使用基于代理的建模方法来模拟不同的疏散事件，以尝试了解最有效的情况。具体来说，我们将重点关注紧急撤离期间选择的参数如何影响残疾人。我们选择了一个ABM来模拟这一点，因为我们想指定模型中不同“代理”的特定角色。具体来说，我们将专注于残疾人对人群动态和最佳出口的影响。放置座位的残疾人是否会影响最后一个人退出建筑物所花费的时间？糟糕的标牌对身体健康和残疾人安全退出的时间有什么影响？如果有些人不知道自己恐慌状态的替代出口会发生什么？使用基于代理的模型，我们将研究这些问题，同时还要调整其他外部效果，例如人群的密度，人们退出的速度以及在模拟开始时人们的位置。
Collective behavior of people in large groups and emergent crowd dynamics can have dangerous and disastrous results when panic is introduced. These events can be caused by emergency situations such as fires in a large building or a stampeding effect when people are rushing in a densely packed area. In this paper, we will use an agent-based modeling approach to simulate different evacuation events in an attempt to understand what is the most efficient scenario. Specifically, we will focus on how people with disabilities are impacted by chosen parameters during an emergency evacuation. We chose an ABM to simulate this because we want to specify specific roles for different "agents" in our model. Specifically, we will focus on the influence of people with disabilities on crowd dynamics and the optimal exits. Does the placement of seating for people with disabilities affect the time it takes for the last person to exit the building? What effect does poor signage have on the time it takes for able-bodied and people with disabilities to exit safely? What happens if some people do not know about alternative exits in their panicked state? Using our agent-based model, we will investigate these questions while also adjusting other outside effects such as the density of the crowd, the speed at which people exit, and the location of people at the start of the simulation.
