“…Owing to its superior accuracy and flexible parameter settings, the social force model has been selected for this research. Among the pedestrian traffic simulation software platforms utilizing the social force model, AnyLogic 8.8.3 [30], VisWalk 22.00-04 [31], and Urban Analytics Framework 6.3.0 [32] are three commonly utilized options (Table 2). The choice of a simulation platform primarily hinges on its ability to meet the requirements for simulating consumer behavior, including input and output information, development performance, and application scope.…”

Contemporary studies largely concentrate on the physical aspects of architecture, yet within the sphere of design, the gap between user experience and the designer’s intention is an undeniable fact. This gap, illustrating the contrast between the spatial perception and the actual physical space, to some degree, mirrors preferences in human spatial behavior. It accentuates the complex relationship between human cognitive functions and spatial layout, underlining the critical role of spatial perception in architectural design and planning. This prompts the question of whether perceptions of internal traffic flow within buildings also suffer from spatial distortions. Focusing on museums, and by examining circulation paths and spatial features, a virtual museum model is devised. The research employs a holistic and reductionist approach (complex systems theory) to forge a link between circulation components and the spatial experience of architecture. Utilizing agent-based modeling tools for simulating pedestrian movements, it investigates how different circulation patterns and spatial relationships influence pedestrian behavior. The study proposes a museum circulation optimization strategy, grounded in quantifying spatial experience through Anylogic software analysis. This strategy is aimed at enhancing the design of internal traffic flows in future museum projects, offering fresh insights into museum design research, and probing into new possibilities for using pedestrian simulation software.

“…The validation of the model is achieved according to the error value between the simulation data and the filed data. 51,52 It should be noted that when the passenger is not at the boundary and there are no obstacles around, there will be eight neighbor cells for him or her to move and the passenger can also choose to stay at the original cell. The cellular automata model and fuzzy logic theory are combined to determine the main movement direction of passengers through probability value.…”

The behavior of stair/escalator/elevator selection of passengers at the subway platform could directly affect the travel efficiency and even the service level of the station. This paper proposes a stair/escalator/elevator selection model of passengers at the subway platform, where the cellular automata model is used to simulate passenger movement, and the fuzzy logic theory is used to describe selection behavior. The distance to the stair/escalator/elevator and the density of passengers in front of the facility are selected as the main influence factors. The rationality and effectiveness of the selection model are verified by comparing the field data with simulation results of passengers choosing different stairs/escalators/elevators. The relationship between passenger quantity, passenger speed, escalator quantity, escalator location, and the traffic rate is analyzed based on simulation results, which can provide a theoretical reference for the facility layout optimization at the platform floor of the subway station.

“…Charrier et al [17] propose an approach using the well-known Helbing's model [35] to include a nervousness propagation mechanism, and then the authors study its impact on a classical simulation setup. Furthermore, finally, Shi et al [92] propose a work which goal is to verify the applicability of the Social Force Model (SFM), embedded in Viswalk software, to reproduce the effect of egress flow under normal and emergency conditions. As can be observed, many papers have been proposed in the context of evacuation and crowd mobility, as the example of Orallo and Martinez [36].…”
