Campus communities are vulnerable to a wide range of emergencies such as active shooter incidents and fires, exposing students, teachers, and other members to significant risks. This Smart and Connected Communities Integrative Research Grant (SCC-IRG) project aims to explore new ways in which human behaviors are systemically and robustly incorporated into building design and emergency protocols. Specifically, the focus of the project is to understand how people in different roles respond to building emergencies, both individually and collectively, with empirical data collected from human-subject experiments, behavioral theories, and insights from domain experts. Intelligent crowd simulations are developed to represent the goals, preferences, and actions of diverse groups of building occupants as well as their interactions with others and the environment. The research team works synergistically with a range of campus community stakeholders, including first responders, law enforcement and emergency management personnel, and building designers to parameterize, validate, and test the crowd simulation. Appropriate applications are identified to mitigate safety and health risks. Underrepresented and underprivileged students are recruited into the research activities. Furthermore, the team explores the generalizability of the methodology, datasets, and research findings to non-building emergencies and non-campus communities.Current crowd simulations for examining building emergencies often rely on oversimplified assumptions about human behaviors, lack cross-examination in different emergency contexts, and overlook the varied needs of stakeholders. To address these gaps, this project considers two common yet distinctive building emergencies (i.e., active shooter incidents, and fires) that are common in campus communities, and holistically models the impact of personal, social, and environmental factors on human behaviors of building occupants. The team implements agent-based models and develops multi-agent crowd simulations that capture individual and collective behaviors based on a highly reconfigurable and adaptable decision-theoretic framework. The team also engages campus stakeholders as well as other community members in a series of workshops to co-create likely and representative emergency scenarios. By allowing for exploring the outcomes of such “what-if” scenarios, the crowd simulation software has the potential to serve as a valuable tool for building designers, facility operators, and emergency managers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

校园社区容易受到广泛的紧急情况的攻击，例如主动射击事件和火灾，曝光学生，老师和其他成员遭受重大风险。这个智能和互联的社区综合研究赠款（SCC-IRG）项目旨在探讨人类行为在建筑物设计和紧急协议中被系统地稳固地纳入人类行为的新方式。具体而言，该项目的重点是了解扮演不同角色的人们如何对建筑物的紧急情况做出反应，无论是单独和集体的，从人类受试者实验，行为理论和领域专家的见解中收集的经验数据。开发了智能人群模拟，以代表潜水员的建筑职业群体及其与他人和环境的互动的目标，偏好和行动。研究团队与一系列校园社区利益相关者协同合作，包括急救人员，执法和紧急管理人员，以及建筑设计师，以参数化，验证和测试人群模拟。确定适当的申请以减轻安全和健康风险。代表性不足和贫困学生被招募到研究活动中。此外，该团队探讨了方法，数据集和研究发现对非建设紧急情况和非校园社区的普遍性。检查建筑紧急情况的人群模拟通常依赖于对人类行为的过度简化假设，对人类行为，在不同的紧急情况下缺乏交叉检查，并且在不同的紧急情况下缺乏销售的需求，以及各种用户的需求。为了解决这些差距，该项目考虑了在校园社区中常见的两个常见但独特的建筑紧急情况（即主动射击事件和火灾），并整体上对个人，社会和环境因素对建筑物职业行为的影响进行了建模。该团队实施基于代理的模型，并开发多代理人群模拟，这些模拟基于高度重新配置和适应性的决策理论框架来捕获个人和集体行为。该团队还与校园利益相关者以及其他社区成员互动，参加一系列讲习班，以共同创造并代表紧急情况。通过允许探索这种“假设”场景的结果，人群仿真软件有可能作为建筑设计师，设施操作员和紧急情况经理的有价值工具。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过使用基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估来审查Criteria通过评估来通过评估来获得的支持。
