Pedestrian Dynamic Aggregation Simulation Model with Emotional Affection

Abstract

Abstract: In order to improve the fidelity of dynamic aggregation process of virtual pedestrian, the relationship between gathering process and emotion contagion were simulated by integrating individual emotional interaction into crowd model. Individuals within the crowd firstly chose moving target and produced aggregation according to their expectation. The gathering process propagated the influences of target through the emotional interaction of individuals. The propagated influences affected individuals' expectation which made further efforts on crowd aggregation. Social force for simulating moving individuals and heat conduction theory were adopted by the model to simulate the emotional contagion of the crowd. Experimental results show that the emotional interaction process can effectively improve the fidelity and controllability of crowd aggregation.

Key words: affective computing, pedestrian aggregation, emotion contagion, social force
