Abstract

In this paper we present an agent-based simulation of pedestrian dynamics based on cellular automata models. Differently from the cellular automata, our model represents different pedestrian characteristics: gender, speed, room geometry knowledge, and herding and obstacle avoidance behavior. We study how different room geometries, different pedestrian groups sizes and characteristics influence the pedestrian dynamics and the macroscopic behavior of the system. With this agent-based approach we expect to obtain more realistic results than the cases where the pedestrians are uniformly modeled. Our analysis indicates that pedestrian groups with different features contribute in different ways to the macroscopic behavior.
