Behavioural Factors Based Crowd Evacuation Modelling Using Fuzzy-Neural Approach

Crowd studies on evacuation have attracted researchers from many fields of study that aim to simulate reality phenomena of escape panic during the evacuation. The main factor being analyzed is the crowd behaviour. Early studies of crowd behaviour have started to imitate reality behaviour patterns...

The main factor being analyzed is the crowd behaviour. Early studies of crowd behaviour have started to imitate reality behaviour patterns of evacuation such as following, queuing and herding. This studies have a little understanding on the crowd behaviour patterns from the psychological perspective on the emotions influences under stressful situation which may result in different behavioural actions.
