Simulating human activity is a research field with multiple applications, especially regarding the validation of public buildings. Early work in this area focused on security considerations, especially for evacuation scenarios. However, recent needs have emerged to validate a public building considering its normal operation in order to provide the best quality of service. This problem is addressed here by proposing a simulation tool for crowds of autonomous pedestrians, where individual behaviours take into account medium term goals. We propose an agent’s model with embodied and situated decision abilities which determine its movements inside the environment as well as its interactions with equipments. This model is applied in a tool called
SIMULEM
, which supports all the simulation phases from the environment’s specification to the results analysis. Finally, this tool is operated on real cases for the simulation of train stations by our industrial partners (
AREP
and
SNCF
).
