Abstract

Mental simulation is proposed by cognitive psychologists as a candidate to model the human reasoning process. In this paper, we propose a methodology that models mental simulation to create realistic human behavior in simulated environments. This methodology is used to generate realistic intruder and guard behavior in physical security systems simulation. The behaviors include moving to a target while avoiding detection/capture for intruders and following and apprehending intruders for guards.
