Toward a Generic Framework for Modeling Human Behaviors in Crowd Simulation

This paper presents our ongoing work on modeling agents with human-like decision making and behavior execution capabilities in crowd simulation. We aim to provide a generic framework that reflects the major cognitive and physical processes as observed from human behaviors in real-life situations. The design of the framework is based on some basic assumptions and related cognitive theories on human behaviors in various real-life situations. In this paper, the cognitive architecture of our framework is presented, which emphasizes the role of experiences in human´s decision making. The paper also briefly describes the design of agent´s decision making process and presents a case study to show some results in a crowd simulation scenario.
