Abstract

In this paper, we discuss how Cellular Discrete Event System Specification (Cell-DEVS) theory can be used in modeling and simulation of the crowd. We will show that the efficient cell update mechanism of Cell-DEVS allows for more efficient entity-based simulation of the crowd compared to cellular automata. On the other hand the formal interfacing mechanisms provided by this theory allows for integration of other components such as DEVS atomic processing component or visualization and building information modeling components with the Cell-DEVS model. Finally, we describe in details of the design and development of several pedestrian models and present the results.
