Abstract :
We present a new algorithm to simulate a variety of crowd behaviors using the Discrete Choice Model (DCM). DCM has been widely studied in econometrics to examine and predict customers´ or households´ choices. Our DCM formulation can simulate virtual agents´ goal selection and we highlight our algorithm by simulating heterogeneous crowd behaviors: evacuation, shopping, and rioting scenarios.
