Abstract

Point clouds serve as the raw material for various models, such as Building Information Models (BIM). In this work, we investigate the reconstruction steps needed to create models that can be utilized directly for agent-based simulations. The input data for the reconstruction is captured with an indoor mobile mapping system. To show the prominence of this idea, we run social distancing and evacuation simulations on the reconstructed models. The simulations are run with multiple agents using a vision-based pedestrian model and A∗-based path finding algorithm. The limitations of this approach are discussed. The video of the simulation is shared with the audience. Link to the video: https://youtu.be/r2D3IxXt7Ls
