Abstract
A three-dimensional pedestrian-flow simulation system for optimally designing a floor plan and elevator configuration of a high-rising building was developed. With this simulation system, the pedestrian flow is simulated by synchronizing horizontal traffic on each building floor and vertical traffic in elevators to generate three-dimensional movements of pedestrians in the building. The simulation system comprises an interaction model, in which the horizontal traffic affects the vertical traffic through elevator-calling actions of people, and the vertical traffic affects the horizontal traffic by massive injection of people onto floors from elevator cages. The effectiveness of the developed system was verified by comparing the simulated pedestrian flows with actual flows in two real buildings.
