Diversity among agents' behaviors and heterogeneity in virtual crowds in general, is an
important aspect of crowd simulation as it is crucial to the perceived realism and plausibility …

A robot navigating in dense crowds should react to the motion of nearby pedestrians.
However, it could lead to unsafe, inefficient, and illegible robot motions. This article presents …

Virtual traffic benefits a variety of applications, including video games, traffic engineering,
autonomous driving, and virtual reality. To date, traffic visualization via different simulation …

Many multi-agent navigation approaches make use of simplified representations such as a
disk. These simplifications allow for fast simulation of thousands of agents but limit the …

The real‐time simulation of human crowds has many applications. In a typical crowd
simulation, each person ('agent') in the crowd moves towards a goal while adhering to local …

A navigation mesh is a representation of a 2D or 3D virtual environment that enables path
planning and crowd simulation for walking characters. Various state-of-the-art navigation …
