7. Intelligent evacuation systems for crowds of pedestrians

Based on the results obtained for fractional modeling and fractional control of crowds, intelligent evacuation systems for modeling of crowds and control of evacuation are considered in this chapter. Both simulation platform and an experiment platform are studied where control, information, communication, and computation techniques have been embedded to enhance crowd safety and management without changing the physical structure of the facility. We hope that this chapter can provide some reference for the design of intelligent evacuation systems.
