Results (So far)

Since we are basing ourselves on an existing model, we aim first on recreating the article's results. So far, we just overcame (as of 14 of March) the size limitation of the room. Since the article works on a 63x63 room, we haven't been able to get data on a room with same size. But, working with smaller rooms we have gotten graphs which show interesting behaviour as we vary the sensitivity parameters.

Varying sensitivity parameters, what does it mean?

We have two parameters which rule over how a pedestrian will move in the room. These variables will weight the influence that the static or dynamic field have on the pedestrian. Said simply, the static sentivity parameter (kS) would be a measure of how knowledgeable the pedestrians are of the existant exit. The dynamic sentivity paremeter (kD) will tell us how prone a pedestrian is to follow others. Leaving one constant and then varying the other parameter will tell us important information on how pedestrians evacuate.
