Predictive Agent-Based Crowd Model Design Using Decentralized Control Systems

Cristian Berceanu et al.

Summary: This article proposes a predictive agent-based crowd simulation model to analyze the outcomes of emergency evacuation scenarios, taking into account collisions between pedestrians, smoke, fire sprinklers, and exit indicators. The crowd model is based on a decentralized control system structure, where each pedestrian agent is governed through a deliberative-reactive control architecture. Results show that the crowd simulation model based on agent autonomy and local interactions is able to generate higher level crowd dynamics through emergence.

Adaptive cell-based evacuation systems for leader-follower crowd evacuation

Miguel A. Lopez-Carmona et al.

Summary: The challenge of crowd control at large events extends beyond emergency evacuations to improving operational efficiency and comfort. Adaptive cell-based crowd evacuation systems can dynamically generate exit-choice recommendations, improving safety and evacuation time. This study investigates the viability of using this mechanism to develop a leader-follower evacuation system, where trained staff guide evacuees to safety. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of adaptive cell-based crowd evacuation systems in guiding evacuees, with evacuation staff motion speed playing a crucial role in balancing egress time and safety.

C. Natalie van der Wal et al.

Summary: This research analyzes real-world emergency videos to identify behaviors that increase risk during evacuations and examine effective emergency communication strategies. Staff guiding people to exits was found to be the most effective strategy for promoting faster and more effective responses, while live announcements and pre-recorded messages were not associated with delayed responses.

Review on model predictive control: an engineering perspective

Max Schwenzer et al.

Summary: Model-based predictive control (MPC) is an advanced control method that predicts the future behavior of a controlled system using a process model. By implicitly determining the control law, MPC shifts the focus of controller design towards modeling the controlled process. With applications in various engineering fields, MPC reduces the initial hurdles for control and can even handle systems beyond the capabilities of traditional feedback controllers.

On Identification of Nonlinear ARX Models with Sparsity in Regressors and Basis Functions

Rajiv Singh et al.

Summary: This study presents techniques for minimal order, sparse identification of Nonlinear ARX models. The estimation is performed using regularized formulations and proximal gradient descent methods, with a bootstrapping technique in regressor space for tuning the regularization hyperparameters. Additionally, an extension to the basic NARX structure is proposed to guarantee BIBO stability and improve the generalizability and long-term forecasting ability of the model.
