Abstract

Abstract: To explore the role of panic in crowd evacuation, a crowd evacuation model considering panic infection is constructed based on SIR model, SIS model and CA model. The influences of emotional threshold and emotional decay rate on the evacuation process of pedestrians are discussed. The results show that pedestrians under high panic might lose rational judgment and hinder the evacuation of the crowd around, resulting in a decrease of evacuation efficiency. It can be found that the state of an individual depends on the infection threshold and the immune threshold. The emotional decay rate affects the change rate of the individual state, and there is a critical value that determines the spread or decay of emotion.
