Abstract:

Crowd control has become increasingly important in urbanized military operations such as peace keeping, riot control, disaster management,emergency evacuation, and rescue operations. In this paper, we describe an architecture for simulating virtual crowd to aid in the training, planning and decision making process in the area of military operations. Our system makes use of the light-weight agent-based simulation system, RePast, the JESS inference engine coupled with the Protégé ontology knowledge-base, the commercial- off-the-shelf game engine Unreal Tournament and the High Level Architecture to realize a distributed and extensible architecture for modeling virtual crowd.
