This project investigates the impact of architectural design on human behavior during emergencies to enhance the realism of crowd simulations. Leveraging existing datasets on human response to simulated active shooter incidents, researchers intend to create mathematical models of human behavior, helping us understand how different types of people might react during emergencies. The behavioral models will be used to develop simulations to explore, visualize and evaluate how architectural design strategies can impact emergency behavior during emergencies.
