Abstract :
We have focused on the human instinct and proposed a new model that can simulate the human crowd behavior under the condition that many people in a closed room rush to exits at the same time. In this model, people move by three instincts (escape instinct, group instinct, and imitation instinct) and the information that is obtained in their view field with dead angle. The results show the validity of this model and that two, or more, exits are not always more appropriate for people to escape than one exit.
