Crowd Simulation with Augmented Reality

Abstract

In situations where crowds are expected, such as big sport events, musical events, among others, the unpredictability of incidents is always present. In order to prevent accidents and tragedies, understanding how crowds behave is crucial. This research project has developed an augmented reality system with agents to simulate crowds in real locations using artificial intelligence, thereby providing a way for scientific study of the behavior of crowds, thus leading to better plan the organization of such events, avoiding critical situations.
