The framework of crowd simulation modeling with social network

The Social relationships of the pedestrians plays a vital role in crowd simulation, not only in the emergency circumstance but also in normal situation, which has been neglected in many researchers´ study. The relationships among the crowds not only affect the modeling of the crowd simulation but also the pedestrian´s behavior model. Additionally, social network provides a way of analyzing these pedestrians. In this paper, we try to build up a framework to integrate social network with crowd simulation for the modeling and analysis. This framework describes the way to build social network in crowd simulation and its impact to pedestrians´ behavior model. We also display how social network visualization and analysis strengthen our understanding of the process of crowd simulation.
