Abstract :
Human behavior simulation is a challenging task because its nature and the variables affecting it are still unknown. However such simulations play important role in various fields, including army, police training, architecture, emergency exits design etc. In this paper we present a complex simulation of crowd based on the PECS psychological model. We created a multi-agent system with agents affected by many real life attributes and two main scenarios: general crowd as first and families with children as second. These two scenarios were compared and valuable results were obtained.
