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.
