Outline of Final Research Achievements

The role of evacuation leaders is extremely important at disasters. However, the leaders are not placed like a fire drill beforehand. The purpose of this study is to clarify whether an evacuation leader spontaneously emerges from the crowd under the extremely dangerous environment like a panic. We performed multi-agent simulation based on molecular dynamics and found that evacuees formed a crowd rather than evacuated individually and the crowd behaved just like a single virtual evacuee. In addition, we also found that an evacuee with a low psychological dependence to others behaves as a leader from the research in decision-making of the crowd at individual elementary processes.
