crowdsimulation
Crowdsimulation refers to the computational modeling of the movement and interactions of large groups of people within a shared space. It is used to analyze safety, optimize design, plan for events, and create believable crowd behavior in virtual environments.
Most approaches are microscale, simulating individual agents with goals and perception, though meso- and macro-level models
Key components include the environment geometry, obstacles, exits, and agent properties such as preferred speed, personal
Applications span evacuation planning, venue and corridor design, crowd management at events, public-safety simulations, urban-scale mobility
Calibration and validation rely on empirical trajectory data from video analysis, sensor networks, or controlled experiments.
