Abstract
Virtual Environment for Life On Ships (VELOS) is a multi-user Virtual
Reality (VR) system that supports designers to assess (early in the design
process) passenger and crew activities on a ship for both normal and hectic
conditions of operations and to improve the ship design accordingly.
Realistic simulations of behavioral aspects of crowd in emergency
conditions require modeling of panic aspects and social conventions of
inter-relations. The present paper provides a description of the enhanced
crowd modeling approach employed in VELOS for the performance of ship
evacuation assessment and analysis based on the guidelines provided by
IMO's Circular MSC 1238/2007.
