Abstract:

Aiming at the panic emotion contagion in the indoor emergency evacuation with multi-exit and multi-obstacle, an emotional contagion model is constructed on personality traits, risk perception differences of age and gender, and consciousness regulation. The simulation is carried out by using AnyLogic, which combines individual emotions with evacuation speed to realize the real-time updating of emotional state and speed. That personnel intervention in the process of evacuation can effectively alleviate the spread of panic emotion, is verified and can provide the theoretical basis for panic contagion in the process of emergency evacuation. The results show that the degree of self-judgment, i.e. consciousness regulation can effectively reduce the evacuation time to a certain extent. The continuous increase of the number of pedestrians initially in panic accelerate the spread of panic among groups and increased the evacuation time. Pedestrians with lower risk perception are more likely to stay calm. Reasonable position arrangement of administrators could effectively restrain the spread of panic and improve the overall evacuation efficiency.

Key words: risk perception, indoor evacuation, emotional contagion, intervention
