The application discloses a
simulation method for emotional contagion in a sudden public
event based on an improved SIRS model, gives a function for quantifying the
panic emotion of pedestrians, and gives a calculation method for related time-varying parameters of
panic emotion contagion in a crowd based on the contagion mechanism of an infectious
disease.The application comprises the following steps: a three-
dimensional simulation modeling of a
public place with a sudden accident is performed by using a
computer simulation software; an emotion function for quantifying the risk
perception of pedestrians is proposed, and the emotion values of the pedestrians to be evacuated are randomly set; the emotion states are divided according to the risk
perception degrees of the pedestrians; the calculation method for related time-varying parameters of
panic emotion contagion in a crowd is determined; an SIRS state transition relationship considering the risk
perception and self-emotion regulation of the pedestrians is established; the evacuation speed of the pedestrians under the emotional contagion is determined, and
simulation is performed; and the application can reflect the phenomenon that the pedestrians have panic emotions when a sudden event occurs and the panic emotions spread in a crowd, thereby providing decision support for preventing and managing the sudden event, especially simulating the
crowd evacuation process after the event and formulating an evacuation scheme.
