Behavior of Stray Children in a Crowd Simulation

Abstract

We propose a BDI agent and behavior model that can simulate the behavior of parentchild pairs in evacuations, In a time of emergency, parents and their children evacuate together, however, some child get lost. Parents look for their children, and go to them with against the major flow of evacuation. The experiments show that our proposed BDI model and modified force model simulate such family-minded human behaviors and congestions caused by the interactions in the crowd.
