Beschreibung
This book describes from a computer science viewpoint the software, methods of simulating and analysing crowds with a particular focus on the effects of panic in emergency situations.
The power of modern technology impacts on modern life in multiple ways every day. A variety of scientific models and computational tools have been developed to improve human safety and comfort in built environments. In particular, understanding pedestrian behaviours during egress situations is of considerable importance in such contexts. Moreover, some places are built for large numbers of people (such as train stations and airports and high volume special activities such as sporting events).
Simulating Crowds in Egress Scenarios discusses the use of computational crowd simulation to reproduce and evaluate egress performance in specific scenarios. Several case studies are included, evaluating the work and different analyses, and comparisons of simulation data versus data obtained from real-life experiments are given.
Focuses on analysing panic behavior in emergency situations
Analyses inside includes people counting and density estimation, multiple pedestrian tracking and crowd flow estimation
Incorporates detailed information on software that has been tested in real-life emergency scenarios
Contains relevant case studies, such as the evacuation of The Brazilian Olympic Stadium
