“…Concerning the type of scenarios and strategies tested with the model, they can be of different types: hazard scenarios (Battegazzorre et al 2021, Veeraswamy et al 2018, different parameters for the population -e.g. density/number (Li et al 2019, Wang et al 2020, Nakasaka et al 2020, psychological/physical characteristics (Yamazaki et al 2017, Wang et al 2020, West and Sherry 2020, knowledge of the shelters (Sun et al 2021), information/communication (Parikh et al 2017) or car use (Aguilar et al 2019, Kim andCho 2020) -group composition (Pan et al 2021) or evaluation of different policies (Kim et al 2017, Yin et al 2020, Bianchin and Pasqualetti 2020, Oh et al 2021, Al-Zinati and Zalila-Wenkstern 2018. Regarding the latter type, Bianchin and Pasqualetti (2020) proposes to optimize the duration of traffic lights to minimize congestion.…”

“…Thus, we mainly examine the impact of group leadership EI on solving conflicts. Previous studies 24,25 have shown that up to 70% of the crowds consist of small groups, with a typical size of 7 ± 2. In light of the above, we position our experiment in a small group of six people with a female virtual tour guide (VTGuide) as the leader of the tourist group, acting as a link to connect with other tourists.…”

An effective virtual agent can serve humans complete task‐based work efficaciously and manage interpersonal relationships with humans judiciously. This article investigates the effectiveness of emotional intelligence (EI) of a virtual agent taking over the role of a virtual tour guide (VTGuide) in a desktop application when witnessing a personal conflict between a human user and two virtual agents participating in the tour (the human user was ignored by the agents). A within‐subject experiment is conducted to verify the validity of EI. Participants rate VTGuides (with or without EI) on conflict handling and report their feelings during the interaction. In addition, objective behavioral data of users are recorded, including facial expressions and textual sentiment, to assess the perception of rapport. The results show that an emotionally intelligent VTGuide performs an agreeable behavior system (e.g., nodding, eye contact, friendly facial expressions), comforting verbal strategy (e.g., distracting attention, mediating between conflicting parties), and positive paralinguistic cues (e.g., smiling textual emojis). It can effectively mitigate intra‐group conflicts and maintain interpersonal relationships. Thus, demonstrating a stronger sense of EI can better transmit engagement, interest, understanding, and emotional feedback in complex relationships.

“…ey usually will spontaneously form groups, which have a relevant influence on the crowd dynamics behavior, and groups usually tend to act together [30]. Pan et al [31] discussed the influence of small group behavior on evacuation and established a multi-agent evacuation model. By changing the type of groups and widths of passage, they simulated unidirectional and bidirectional evacuation processes.…”

Lifeboats are important equipment to ensure the safety of passengers when a serious accident occurs in the ship. Higher efficiency of lifeboat embarkation is beneficial to improving passenger survival. This study divides lifeboat embarkation into queuing and seat selection stages and studies the embarkation process of cruise passengers. According to the characteristics of two stages of the embarkation process, transfer rules of queue and activity rules of the passenger are proposed. Combined with the rules, 16 types of embarkation simulation scenarios are established. The simulation results show that the embarkation efficiency of the group passenger is lower than that of the individual passenger. When passengers select seats from outboard row to inboard row, the speed of embarkation is faster than that of random seating selection. Compared with only considering the queue length, the embarkation is more efficient if passengers also consider the seat availability of lifeboats when they transfer between queues. The analysis of the results proves that the embarkation efficiency can be improved through proper guidance on the behavior of passengers in queuing and seat selection.
