Evacuation modeling and simulation are usually used to explore different possibilities for evacuation, however, it is a real challenge to integrate different categories of characteristics in unified modeling space. In this paper, we propose an agent-based model of an evacuating crowd so that a comparative analysis of a different sets of parameters categorized as individual, social and technological aspects, is made possible. In particular, we focus on the question of rationality vs. emotionalism of individuals in a localized social context. In addition to that, we propose and model the concept of extended social influence, thereby embedding technological influence within the social influence, and analyze its impact on the efficiency of evacuation. NetLogo is used for simulating different variations in environments, evacuation strategies, and agents demographics. Simulation results revealed that there is no substantial advantage of informational overload on people, as this might work only in those situations, where there are fewer chances of herding. In more serious situations, people should be left alone to decide. They, however, could be trained in drills, to avoid panicking in such situations and concentrate on making their decisions solely based on the dynamics of their surroundings. It was also learned that distant connectivity has no apparent advantage and can be ruled out while designing an evacuation strategy based on these recommendations.

关于多功能疏散系统的有效性：基于代理的探索性仿真研究

疏散建模和仿真通常用于探索疏散的不同可能性，但是，在统一的建模空间中集成不同类别的特征是一个真正的挑战。在本文中，我们提出了一种基于主体的疏散人群模型，从而可以对归类为个人，社会和技术方面的不同参数集进行比较分析。特别是，我们关注本地化社会背景下个人的理性与情感主义问题。除此之外，我们提出并模拟了扩大社会影响力的概念，从而将技术影响力嵌入社会影响力中，并分析了其对撤离效率的影响。NetLogo用于模拟环境，疏散策略，和代理商的受众特征。模拟结果表明，信息过载对人们没有实质性的优势，因为这可能仅在放牧机会较少的那些情况下有效。在更严重的情况下，应该让人们独自决定。但是，可以对他们进行演练训练，以免在这种情况下惊慌失措，并专注于仅根据周围环境的动态做出决策。另据了解，远距离连通性没有明显优势，可以根据这些建议设计疏散策略时排除远距离连通性。人们应该任由自己决定。但是，可以对他们进行演练训练，以免在这种情况下惊慌失措，并专注于仅根据周围环境的动态做出决策。另据了解，远距离连通性没有明显优势，可以在根据这些建议设计疏散策略时排除远距离连通性。人们应该任由自己决定。但是，可以对他们进行演练训练，以免在这种情况下惊慌失措，并专注于仅根据周围环境的动态做出决策。另据了解，远距离连通性没有明显优势，可以在根据这些建议设计疏散策略时排除远距离连通性。
