Developing an Adaptive Evacuation Simulation Framework based on Agent Performance Dynamics

Abstract

The benefits of evacuation drills for disaster preparedness are not yet well-established. Virtual reality and serious games (SG) application to evacuation simulation were proven to be effective in overcoming limitations of traditional emergency training approaches with a significant increase in the trainees' knowledge and self-efficacy. Further, human behavioural modelling is a critical component of evacuation simulation.The succeeding version of the implementation will apply the results of the survey on the agent model and perform the simulations on the four identified crucial scenarios.
