Abstract

Crowd simulation has been becoming an efficient tool to study the crowd behavior and its movement. Macroscopic and microscopic approaches take a trade-off between efficiency and accuracy, but neither of them achieves the two goals at the same time. Aiming to achieve both efficiency and accuracy, a multi-resolution model is proposed in this paper for crowd simulation. The paper illustrates how macroscopic and microscopic models co-exist in a single simulator and the interactions between them. The simulation result of a case study shows that the proposed multi-resolution simulation model can obtain a more accurate result than that using a simple macroscopic model alone. The simulation performance is also improved in the meantime.
