Modification of Physical Force Approach for Simulating Agent Movement with Collective Behavior

Crowd modelling is a simulation study to know how crowd will behave in the environment. this simulation will contribute general knowledge and insight especially for safety engineers and architectural designers in assessing safety of crowd movement in buildings. there are many existing crowd models. however, these models neglect the details of agent characteristics and intelligence on how the agent will behave in the real environment. therefore, in this study, the aim is to present heterogeneous agent characteristics and to include intelligence in the model in order to produce collective types of agent behaviour by modify the existing physical force approach.
