Optimal Acceleration-Velocity-Bounded Trajectory Planning in Dynamic Crowd Simulation

الملخص EN

Creating complex and realistic crowd behaviors, such as pedestrian navigation behavior with dynamic obstacles, is a difficult and time consuming task.

In this paper, we study one special type of crowd which is composed of urgent individuals, normal individuals, and normal groups.

We use three steps to construct the crowd simulation in dynamic environment.

The first one is that the urgent individuals move forward along a given path around dynamic obstacles and other crowd members.

An optimal acceleration-velocity-bounded trajectory planning method is utilized to model their behaviors, which ensures that the durations of the generated trajectories are minimal and the urgent individuals are collision-free with dynamic obstacles (e.g., dynamic vehicles).

In the second step, a pushing model is adopted to simulate the interactions between urgent members and normal ones, which ensures that the computational cost of the optimal trajectory planning is acceptable.

The third step is obligated to imitate the interactions among normal members using collision avoidance behavior and flocking behavior.

Various simulation results demonstrate that these three steps give realistic crowd phenomenon just like the real world.
