A large scale pedestrian simulation method, implemented with an agent based modelling
paradigm, is presented within this paper. It allows rapid prototyping and real-time …

To improve safety at mass events, an evacuation assistant that supports security services in
case of emergencies is developed. One central aspect is forecasting the emergency egress …

In this article, we describe a parallel agent-based model of spatial opinion diffusion that is
driven by graphics processing units (GPUs). Modeling opinion exchange and diffusion …

Understanding how people view and interact with autonomous vehicles is important to guide
future directions of research. One such way of aiding understanding is through simulations …

Many agent based models require agents to have an awareness of their local peers. The
handling of these fixed radius near neighbours (FRNNs) is often a limiting factor of …

ABSTRACT Using Multi-Agent Based Simulation (MABS), computing resources
requirements often limit the extent to which a model could be experimented. As the number …

Real-time large-scale crowd simulations with realistic behavior, are important for many
application areas. On CPUs, the ORCA pedestrian steering model is often used for agent …

High performance computing on the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is an emerging field
driven by the promise of high computational power at a low cost. However, GPU …

Controlling crowd simulations typically involves tweaking complex parameter sets to attempt
to reach a desired outcome, which can be unintuitive for non-technical users. This paper …
