New framework models human cognition, emotion, and personality in evacuations

Researchers have developed a new framework for modeling human behavior during emergency evacuations, integrating cognitive, emotional, and personality factors. This model includes dynamic event awareness, memory-based exit knowledge, a fear model where panic emerges, and an OCEAN-based personality representation, specifically incorporating neuroticism. Simulation experiments demonstrate that these human-centric elements significantly impact evacuation dynamics, leading to more realistic outcomes like delays, confusion, and social contagion. AI

IMPACT Provides a more realistic simulation of human behavior in emergencies, potentially improving safety planning and crowd management strategies.

    A Cognition-Emotion-Personality Framework for Modeling Human-Like Awareness and Behavior in Emergency Evacuations

    arXiv:2606.29212v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent-based evacuation simulations are widely used to study crowd behavior during emergencies, but many models rely on assumptions such as perfect event awareness, complete exit knowledge, and fully rational decision-making. This pa…
