Abstract

In this paper, we propose movement algorithms for refugee agents in disaster areas for developing simulation systems of virtual disaster areas. Usually, refugees in disaster areas move to shelters for evacuation. However, such evacuation activities vary depending on the types of refugees. In our algorithms, we provide two features for representing the types of refugees: their possession of map information and their state of mind. Experimental results show that our proposed movement algorithms for refugees can express the activities of refugees correctly and thus are suitable for virtual disaster simulation systems.
