Emergency Evacuation Simulation in Open Air Events Using a Floor Field Cellular Automata Model

Abstract

In order to enhance human safety in open air events and simulate evacuation scenarios, a two dimensional cellular automata model is proposed based on human behavior. To make the model more reasonable, human behavior effects like inertial, group effect, friction, pedestrian velocity, wall repulsion and panic behavior were included. A demo scenario of the proposed system in Pützchens Markt’s fair in Bonn with different numerical results is also discussed.
