Abstract
Applying agent-based modeling to simulate the evacuation in case of
emergency situations is recognized by many research works as an
efficient tool for understanding the behavior and decision making of
occupants in these situations. In this paper, we present our work aiming
to modeling the influence of the emotion and social relationship of
occupants on their behaviors and decision making in emergency as in case
of fire disaster. Firstly, we proposed a formalization of occupants'
behavior at group level in emergency situations based on the social
theory. This formalization details possible behaviors and actions of
people in emergency evacuations, taking into account occupant's social
relationship. The formalization will facilitate the construction of
simulation for emergency evacuation. Secondly, we modeled the influence
of emotion and group behavior on the decision making of occupants in
crisis situations. Thirdly, we developed an agent-based simulation that
took into account the effect of group and emotion on the decision making
of occupants in emergency situations. We conducted a set of experiments
allowing to observe and analyze the behavior of people in emergency
evacuation.
