How to set the parameters to change the wayfinding strategy of pedestrian in Anylogic?


I am trying to develop an agent model to simulate the evacuation scenarios in AnyLogic. I want to change some parameters to custom the wayfinding strategies of the pedestrian. But I couldn't find any description of the logic of the pedestrians movement and couldn't find a way to change the parameters. Does anyone know what can I do to modify the pedestrians movement model?


Solution

  • There is very little you can do, it is a black-box model working in the background. The help has some light details of how it works.

    You can only adjust the environment to influence path-finding for pedestrians (close areas...).

    Lastly, the "Ped settings" object has some light ways to adjust behavior: enter image description here

    If you need more than that, either create your own pedestrian agent type with 100% custom pathfinding capabilities (not trivial) or revert to tailored pedestrian-modelling tools
