STUDY ON AUTOMATIC BUILDING OF ANALYTICAL MODEL FOR EVACUATION SIMULATION BY CELLULAR AUTOMATA

Abstract

In recent years, the simulation systems of emergency evacuation have been developed. It is required for the practical use to verify the systems by comparing the results of the simulation with the actual human behavior in an emergency. On the other hand, in the practical use, building the analytical model is complex and it takes much labor. This may be the biggest factor which avoids the progress of the simulation of emergency evacuation. In this study, the system to develop the automatic building of the analytical model for the evacuation simulation using the numerical maps is introduced. An example of simulation by Cellular Automata (CA) is demonstrated with the proposed system.
