Exploring Crowd Dynamics: Simulating Structured Behaviors through Crowd Simulation Models

Abstract: This paper proposes the simulation of structured behaviors in a crowd of virtual agents by extending the BioCrowds simulation model. Three behaviors were simulated and evaluated, a queue as a generic case and two specific behaviors observed at rock concerts. The extended model incorporates new parameters and modifications to replicate these behaviors accurately. Experiments were conducted to analyze the impact of parameters on simulation results, and computational performance was considered. The results demonstrate the model's effectiveness in simulating structured behaviors and its potential for replicating complex social phenomena in diverse scenarios.
