Simulating Evacuations with Obstacles Using a Modified Dynamic Cellular Automata Model

A modified dynamic cellular automata model is proposed to simulate the evacuation of occupants from a room with obstacles. The model takes into account some factors that play an important role in an evacuation process, such as human emotions and crowd density around the exits. It also incorporates p...
