Crowd Simulation Incorporating a Route Choice Model and Similarity Evaluation using Real Large-scale Data

Existing literature on crowd modeling focuses on only the decisionmaking of walking behavior. To construct more practical simulations, we generalize and propose a crowd simulation framework that includes actual crowd movement measurements, route choice model estimation, and crowd simulator construction. In experiments, we measure crowd movements during a firework event where tens of thousands of people moved and prove that the crowd simulation incorporating the route choice model can reproduce the real large-scale crowd movement more accurately.
