A Study on Pedestrian Dynamics Simulator for Navigation System with the use of Wearable Devices

Abstract

It is important problem to take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of crowed spaces such as station's platform and concert venue. There are a lot of problematic situations that people encounter in real life, especially in emergency. There are some crowd simulations that perform the situation of disaster evacuation. Those simulations aim to design environment in order to realize effective refuge behavior. However, we would like to offer a difference approach to provide safety for the publics. That is, we assume the situation that some people used a personal navigation system. In this paper, we explain some wearable devices to use navigation system, and discuss the target situation of crowd simulation.
