Pedestrian Leadership And Egress Assistance Simulation Environment (Please), Kyle D. Feuz

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Pedestrian simulation models are used in many different applications including, the design of safer buildings, the validation of fire codes, and automatic video surveillance and tracking. By improving the simulation model used, each of the application areas can experience similar improvements in accuracy. Current simulation models fail to address key concerns in representing pedestrian knowledge and in accurately modeling group formation. This project has at its core the goal of bringing attention these areas of concern and providing an initial look at ways to solve these problems.
