Abstract

This paper presents a new simulation method of crowd behavior,method that uses a two- layer model that consists of multiagent(MA) framework and cellular automata (CA). The features of thismethod are as follows. (1) Complicated crowd behavior emerges fromthe autonomous actions of agents. (2) Separating an autonomousaction process from a restriction of physical interferences. Usinga simulation system implementing the two-layer model, crowdbehavior simulations are realized. In particular, collision casesof counter crowds are analyzed in detail, and interesting resultsare found. (1) Homogeneous agent crowd tends to make whirlpools,waves, and blanks, and to be slow at the walking. (2) Heterogeneousagent crowd formed lines, then flows efficiently. Experimentalresults show that combining MA and CA is effective to easy realizethe complicated crowd behavior on various environments.
