Abstract: With the accelerated development of urbanization, the number and the scale of cultural events have increased rapidly. In such crowded places, the risk of crowd trampling and crushing will be greatly increased. However, the current studies on crowd trampling and crushing simulation are relatively rare. In order to deduce the crowd trampling and crushing scene, a crowd trampling and crushing simulation model based on the psychological principles was proposed. The model considered emotional factors for the trampling and crushing in the dense crowd; simulated crowd trampling and crushing process and introduced the judgment criterions for the crowd trampling and crushing. The simulation experiment was about crows in the park. The three-dimensional scene simulation was realized for the phenomena of trampling. The result of this research helps relative departments to analyze and deploy the dense crowd. It also provides a new perspective for the further studies about the crowd trampling and crushing contingency plan.

Key words: crowd, trampling and crushing, emotional contagion, virtual simulation
