Cloud Implementation Of Agent-Based Simulation Model In Evacuation Scenarios

Abstract

Over the years evacuation simulation has become increasingly important in the research on the wide class of problems related to the public security in emergency situations. In this paper we develop simulation platform fully integrated with the cloud systemwith using the MapReduce programing model and Hadoop framework.The environment illustrating evacuation scenarios and actors is modelled. by cell automata and interpreted as a potential field, in which technologies the generated agents are located with using multi-agent. The simulation is executed as a stream-based dataprocessing operation to enable environmental universality while taking advantage of the MapReduce model. Several test cases are provided to show the efficiency of the simulation platform.
