Boids Algorithm for Simulating Crowd Movement in Urban Planning and Disaster Management
By Shahabuddin Amerudin Abstract The ability to accurately simulate crowd movement during emergencies is critical in urban planning and disaster management, as it helps design effective evacuation strategies and minimizes the potential for casualties. The Boids algorithm, initially developed to replicate the flocking behavior of birds, provides a versatile framework for modeling the dynamics of crowd movement. This paper explores the application of the Boids algorithm in simulating crowd movement during emergency situations such as floods, analyzing its strengths and limitations. Supported by a comprehensive literature review, this discussion examines the algorithm’s effectiveness in various scenarios, its potential for integration […]
