The effect of an alternate floorfield is analyzed, by using itin a newly composed model for pedestrian dynamics.The model uses the solution to the Eikonal equation, which describes a2-D wave propagation. The wave starts in the target region and propagatesthroughout the geometry. Agents are directed in the opposite direction of thewave propagation, the negative gradient of aforementioned solution to the Eikonal equation.The Routing using a floorfield with homogeneous propagation speed will yieldnon-smooth pathways.In this thesis, an enhanced floorfield is described. A distance field is created and usedin the Eikonal equation, resulting in smooth pathways, which favor a certaindistance to walls. Special interest is taken in the behavior of agents close toobstacles.It is implemented in JuPedSim, a simulation suit for pedestrian simula-tion, developed at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre, Forschungszentrum JülichGmbH. The model is easy to use, fast and shows an organic routing through complex ge-ometries. The extent to which we alter the floorfield is subject to given analysis. |
