Abstract
A model that simulates the behaviour of pedestrians in closed spaces is proposed. Although it can be formulated for emergency and/or non-emergency situations, we here restrict ourselves to an evacuation scenario of a typical museum exhibition space. To this aim, we define an agent-based model using pedestrian dynamics of individuals as the forces for decision-making and behaviour. Previous works have proven that both, decision and behaviour, are strongly affected by the geometry of the enclosed space, the initial random distribution of agents and their social preferences with respect to other individuals. In this work, we improve and extend the existing methodology in order to describe group behaviours. Since museum visitors mostly form groups of students, families and friends such a simulation example offers an excellent case study along this line.
