Abstract & Keywords
This paper describes the framework of a multi-agent system approach for investigating visualized simulated pedestrian activity and behaviour within a building. This system can be used to support the assessment of design performance. Visualization is of critical importance in improving the readability of design representations. Performance indicators of buildings depend on user reactions to design decisions. One way of addressing this problem is to develop models that relate user behaviour to design parameters. For example, simulation models of pedestrian behaviour could be developed to support planning decisions related to the location of facilities in shopping malls, not yet existing. This approach gives a better view of the early stages of a building design and just as can facilitate the process of evaluating and communicating new buildings designs. Keywords: agent technology, micro-simulation, decision support, design process, virtual reality
