The simulation of human behaviour is a complex and unsolved problem. In the simulation of crowd behaviour due to evacuations, many different approaches are present, which in most cases incidently consider psychological aspects of this phenomenon. We assume human behaviour in crowds to be the result of coupled individual processes. The introduced
perceiving–acting model
follows this assumption and integrates perceiving, thinking and acting as primary factors in the individual human behaviour. The model focuses on evacuation scenarios and therefore some of the intrinsic complexity of the human and its acting can be neglected.
