A motivation based fuzzy model for virtual human crowds

The application of motivation psychology on crowd simulation is an interesting topic. Agents in a crowd should have motivations and behaviours, and make decisions in a certain virtual environment by themselves. A formalization of motivation is presented by fuzzy mathematical methods and a computational motivation model for agents is set up. An agent's local motion within a group is based on Helbing's model. The system is tested on an arbitrary section of a real urban and comparisons of the characteristic pasts of the test environment are correlated with the pedestrian movements.
