Abstract: |
In this research, an agent-based
simulation model AMUSE is being developed for the evacuation behaviour of humans induced by the architectural
characteristics of the environment. From previous research the architectural
characteristics are interpreted as a list of so-called architectural clue
types, which are related to three groups of evacuation strategies with a
different priority. The Doorway clue is taken as an example of all the clue
types to be investigated. With it a basic research method is explained. With
an initial six- variable decision making model, a set of virtual scenes were
constructed and implemented in a Head-CAVE system, in which 102 subjects were
tested as in an evacuation game. With the Binary Logistic Regression the
utility function of the model is estimated indicating how these variables
affect human choice on any pair of doorways in a scene. Finally, as a
sub-model of AMUSE, the decision making model of the Doorway clues is setup,
from which evidence was found that the distance from the decision point to
the doorway is not always the most important factor as it is assumed in other
evacuation models. |
