Extreme Conditions for Intelligent Agents

This work is set to implement, test, analyze and measure agentspsila behavior and its consequences under extreme conditions like suicide bombing. The goals are to determine optimal crowd formations and architectural and geometrical recommendations which (when followed) will reduce the number of deaths and injuries in the crowd. Results indicate that the worst crowd formation is street, with 44% crowd in lethal zone and 7% in injury zones. Bus and market crowd formations were found to be the best with 24% and 26% crowd in lethal and 58% and 54% in injury zones respectively. Results were compared and validated by the real-life incidents and found to be in good agreement. These findings, although preliminary, may have implications for emergency response and counter terrorism.
