Agenda-based behavior in pedestrian simulation
Authors: Eric Kolstad, John M. Usher
Abstract
In order to construct a simulation that aptly characterizes pedestrian interactions in large-scale transportation facilities, it is necessary to consider the means to represent the requisite goals and activities of interest to specific individuals that act as primary influences in their navigation choice and other decision- making processes. As part of the Intermodal Simulator for the Analysis of Pedestrian Traffic (ISAPT), we have implemented an objective-based task agenda for pedestrians with priorities that are evaluated relative to factors such as resource availability, travel cost, relative level of need and estimated time to completion. Time- variant sets of such pedestrians, in turn, are configured to represent larger population groups.
