Agent-based research on crowd interaction in emergency evacuation

Insights on Multi-Agent Systems Applications for Supply Chain Management

“…This methodology has also been very attractive for analyzing different coordination mechanisms, such as information sharing and collaborative production planning (see, e.g., [47,48,51,54,55,60,61,[76][77][78]80,81,84]). In fact, MAS has unique capabilities to analyze coordination mechanisms among autonomous entities, as it has been demonstrated in other fields of research, such as the coordination of robots, traffic management, emergency evacuations, or the coordination of multiple sources of energy (see, e.g., [111][112][113][114]). Another interesting topic addressed by MAS in the management of global SCNs is the selection of providers among several competitors (see, e.g., [53,66,78,79,83,87,91]).…”

Automatic Identification and Quantification of Safety Risks Embedded in Design Stage: A Bim-Enhanced Approach

“…There is no advance control method applicable to the design stage, so it can no longer meet the requirements of newly subway safety management. In addition, the current risk identification process is still through 2D drawings and the design scope considered in the current design specifications are far from being able to cover all kinds of safety problems in the construction and operation phases (such as the safety of employees during construction (Xia et al, 2020;Zhou & Guo, 2020), the safety of staff and passengers during normal operation (Danfeng & Jing, 2019;Shin, 2020), the safety of public evacuation of large passenger flow under emergencies (Chen et al, 2020;Chen, 2020;Cheng et al, 2020;Li et al, 2017, etc. ), lack of visually risk identification and quantification methods, can no longer meet the increasingly complex needs of projects.…”
