Abstract: Aiming at the panic emotion contagion in the indoor emergency evacuation with multi-exit and multi-obstacle, an emotional contagion model is constructed on personality traits, risk perception differences of age and gender, and consciousness regulation. The simulation is carried out by using AnyLogic, which combines individual emotions with evacuation speed to realize the real-time updating of emotional state and speed. That personnel intervention in the process of evacuation can effectively alleviate the spread of panic emotion, is verified and can provide the theoretical basis for panic contagion in the process of emergency evacuation. The results show that the degree of …
