Proxemics in Discrete Simulation of Evacuation

摘要

The article deals with a proxemic approach to evacuation modeling. Proxemics is interpreted as a process of acquisition of space. The authors propose a new, discrete model, based on a more detailed representation of space (taken from the Social Distances Model) and the idea of floor fields. The presented model allows for efficient, real time simulation of evacuation from large facilities using more detailed representation of spatial relations.
