Simulating the dynamics and evolution of metropolitan transportation systems serving
millions of travelers remains a difficult task, beyond existing standard software's abilities …

The simulation of large crowds of autonomous agents with realistic behavior is still a
challenge for several computer research communities. In order to handle large crowds …

Agent-based pedestrian behavior simulators are computational systems that implement
models and theories describing the behavior of individual pedestrians. Pedestrian …

Due to the high complexity of large-scale crowds' movement and behavior, the relevant
responsible person cannot guide people's flow the first time and control the risks correctly …

Simulating crowds is a challenging but important problem. There are various methodologies
in the literature ranging from macroscopic numerical flow simulations to detailed …

The purpose of the research presented in this dissertation is to explore the use of a
distributed multi-agent system in a general purpose crowd simulation model. Crowd …
