Abstract: Abstract Crowd modeling is one of the key components of risk analysis and evacuation planning in emergency situations. This paper presents a simulation environment for experimenting with different city evacuation scenarios. The simulation couples a flood model with a crowd escape model. The developed agent-based crowd model mimics the behavior of pedestrians escaping from dangerous regions towards safe areas. The system is evaluated through a series of experiments, modeling the flooding of an area in St. Petersburg, Russia.
