Description
Summary:The concept of Smart Cities is introduced to deal with the problems and challenges that come along with the growth of urbanization. Among all the challenges cities face, one fundamental concern is the safety of its citizens, especially during large sporting events. To test how smart capabilities can affect the evacuation process, an agent-based model was developed of the Georgia Tech football stadium. The model was developed to evaluate possible social behaviors during an evacuation, as well as produce the metrics of interest. To better visualize the results, a user interface was developed that includes a scenario evaluator and a decision making tool.
