Summary:
In this paper, we propose an evacuation simulation in university buildings using multiagent system. In the proposed system, two cases (a) classroom hours and (b) outside classroom hours are considered. In the simulation, each agent recognizes the environment and decides own escape route using the Dijkstra method, and moves to the entrance of the building. Based on the behavior of agents, the average time for escape, the maximum time for escape, the rate of the agents who can escape to the entrance in the limited time, the average speed, and coordinates of agents are output. We carried out a series of computer experiments in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system and confirmed that the proposed system can realize evacuation simulation.
