Agent-Based Simulation of Evacuation Considering Extreme Weather in Tourist Areas

Enhancing agent-based models with artificial intelligence for complex decision making

“…From a social perspective, human agents can be implemented as individuals (Hu, et al, 2017) or as groups (Plikynas, et al, 2014). In addition, an intelligent entity may receive information and exhibit actions either through interactions with other agents 'socially' (Czarnowski and Jędrzejowicz 2018) or with 'environments', which, in socio-economic and spatial ABMs may be spatial (Li, et al, 2018).…”

“…SABM have evolved as tools for studying and simulating complex real world processes (Heppenstall, et al, 2012;Borrill and Tesfatsion, 2010). SES applications include agricultural dynamics (Balmann and Happe, 2001;Berger, 2001;Polhill, et al, 2001), land markets (Filatova, 2014;Parker, 2014), and land use in general (Brown, et al, 2005;Matthews, et al, 2007), as well as natural hazards (de Koning, et al, 2017;Magliocca and Walls, 2018), evacuation (Collins, et al, 2014;Li, et al, 2018;Tkachuk, et al, 2018), disaster management (Drakaki, et al, 2018), and the diffusion of infectious diseases (Alshammari and Mikler, 2018;Augustijn, et al, 2016). The rapid evolution and powerful computational abilities on the hardware side enable a large number of mutually interacting spatial agents to be simulated (Husselmann and Hawick, 2011).…”
