TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Study on developing simulation method for prediction of evacuation processes after earthquake JO - Sociotechnica A1 - Hori, Muneo A1 - Inukai, Youhei A1 - Oguni, Kenji A1 - Ichimura, Tsuyoshi SP - 138 EP - 145 VL - 3 IS - N2 - A prototype of multi-agent simulation is developed to predict state of emergency evacuation of crowds. Agent is designed according to KISS principle and simple rules are assigned, though they can reproduce the speed decrease due to the crowded-ness. Some physical restrictions are given to the rules such that human movement is simulated, and agents move naturally. Coupled with earthquake simulation and structure response simulation, an emergency evacuation simulation is carried out. These simulations are seamlessly made by utilizing a structure model to construct an evacuation path model. Although the validity of the simulation results is not validated, they appear intuitively reasonable.
