During emergencies, emotions greatly affect humanbehaviour

Emotions in Emergency Evacuations

During emergencies, emotions greatly affect humanbehaviour

Fear, escalating to panic, may lead to non-rational behaviour,disorientation etc.

Emotions in Emergency Evacuations

During emergencies, emotions greatly affect humanbehaviour

Fear, escalating to panic, may lead to non-rational behaviour,disorientation etc.

Emotions levels, expressions and their effect on behaviourdiffer among individuals, depending on their personality

For more realistic MAS simulations of emergency evacuations,it is important to incorporate emotions and their effects onthe agents

In crowds, emotions may be propagatedbecause of Emotional Contagion

In emergency evacuations, an individual’semotion might be either intensified orpacified

One way of incorporating EC in MASsimulations is by using Formal Modelling

Emotional X-Machines

An emotional X-machine is defined2 as:

eX = (Σ, Γ, Q, M, Φ, F , q0, m0, E)

where:

Σ and Γ are the input and output alphabets, respectively.

Q is the finite set of states.

M is the (possibly) infinite set called memory.

Φ is a set of partial functions, ϕ : Σ×M × E → Γ×M.

F is the next state partial function, F : Q ×Φ → Q

q0 and m0 are the initial state and initial memory respectively.

E is an emotional structure formalisation.

E is defined as:E = (Ev , P , C , eΦ, e0)

where:

Ev = (ǫ1, . . . , ǫn) is a vector containing emotion identifiers.

P is a personality trait type.

C is a contagion model type.eΦ : E × P × C ×M ×Σ → Ev is the set of emotions revisionfunctions eϕ.

e0 is the initial vector of emotion identifiers representing theinitial emotional state.

Discussion and Future Work

Different Emotional Contagion models yield substantiallydifferent results

More experiments are needed to determine similar effects ofvarious parameters

Validation of such models is extremely difficult due to lack ofreal data

Comparison against video footage of real evacuations wouldoffer insight into determining model usefulness and furtherrefining
