The invention discloses a population evacuation simulation method and system based on a heterogeneous emotional contagion model. Firstly, a heterogeneous emotional contagion calculation method based on a Dupirinar model is designed. In the method, an emotional contagion calculation method based on grouping is proposed, influences of two factors of individual distance and relationship on the grouping are considered, a population grouping algorithm is used for grouping the population, and the influence of the grouping on the emotional contagion calculation is studied. On this basis, a method forcalculating the degree of panic based on characteristics is proposed, individuals are specilized according to characteristic differences in personality, gender and age, and the degree of panic is calculated by using the above characteristics. Secondly, the above heterogeneous emotional contagion model is coupled with population movement, a relative speed obstacle method is combined, and emotionsare used to drive the population movement. Finally, a realistic rendering method is used for simulating a population evacuation effect. The population evacuation simulation method and system based onthe heterogeneous emotional contagion model can observe emotional contagion phenomena in the population movement more realistically and intuitively.
