Modeling pedestrian dynamics and their implementation in a computer are challenging and
important issues in the knowledge areas of transportation and computer simulation. The aim …

Virtual reality plays a growing role in emergency behavior studies. This review focuses on
the perspectives of research development and implementation. It synthesizes and discusses …

We present an information-theoretic method to measure the similarity between a given set of
observed, real-world data and visual simulation technique for aggregate crowd motions of a …

Agent-based crowd simulations are used for modelling building and space usage, allowing
designers to explore hypothetical real-world scenarios, including extraordinary events such …

This study examines attributes of virtual human behavior that may increase the plausibility of
a simulated crowd and affect the user's experience in Virtual Reality. Purpose‐developed …

Steering is a challenging task, required by nearly all agents in virtual worlds. There is a large
and growing number of approaches for steering, and it is becoming increasingly important to …

Agent-based synthetic crowd simulation affords the cost-effective large-scale simulation and
animation of interacting digital humans. Model-based approaches have successfully …

We present a novel interactive approach, PedVR, to generate plausible behaviors for a large
number of virtual humans, and to enable natural interaction between the real user and …

The aim of our study was to investigate whether different tactile feedback conditions could
affect the behavior of participants who were instructed to walk within a virtual reality …

Masjid Al-Haram in Saudi Arabia is one of the most crowded pilgrimage locations in the
world. More than two million pilgrims gather in Saudi Arabia annually during the Hajj …
