Agent-based Modeling and Simulation for Pedestrian Movement Behaviors in Space:a review of applications and GIS issues
Agent-based approach has the advantage of supporting researches on local dynamics of pedestrian movement at a fine scale.After discussing the categories of environment and pedestrian behaviors,this paper reviews the recent development of diverse applications of agent-based pedestrian modeling and simulation under the four headings:(1) transportation planning for pedestrian facilities,(2) planning and design of urban space,(3) crowding,evacuation/panic,and disaster management,and (4) commercial activity organization and shopping behavior.The proposed various models and simulation systems in most of the applications are still immature and not suitable for practical decision-making.The last section of the paper discusses the relationship between GIS and agent-based pedestrian models and simulation systems,and stresses the enhancement of such models and simulations by incorporating more spatial query and analysis functionalities of GIS.
