Every year, many people are severely injured or lose their lives in accidents such as fire, chemical spill, public pandemonium, school shooting, and workplace violence. Research indicates that the fate of people in an emergency situation involving one or more hazards depends not only on the design of the space (e.g., residential building, industrial facility, shopping mall, sports stadium, school, concert hall) in which the incident occurs, but also on a host of other factors including but not limited to (a) occupants' characteristics, (b) level of familiarity with and cognition of the surroundings, and (c) effectiveness of hazard intervention systems. In this paper, we present EVAQ, a simulation framework for modeling large crowd evacuation by taking into account occupants' behaviors and interactions during an emergency. In particular, human's personal (i.e., age, gender, disability) and interpersonal (i.e., group behavior and interactions) attributes are parameterized in a hazard-impacted environment. In addition, different hazard types (e.g., fire, lone wolf attacker) and propagation patterns, as well as intervention schemes (simulating building repellent systems, firefighters, law enforcement) are modeled. Next, the application of EVAQ to crowd egress planning in an airport terminal under human attack, and a shopping mall in fire emergency are presented and results are discussed. Finally, a validation test is performed using real world data from a past building fire incident to assess the reliability and integrity of EVAQ in comparison with existing evacuation modeling tools.

Existing numerical models for strain-hardening cement-based composites (SHCC) are short of providing sufficiently accurate solutions to the failure patterns of coupling beams of different designs. The objective of this study is to develop an effective model that is capable of simulating the nonlinear behavior of SHCC coupling beams subjected to cyclic loading. The beam model proposed in this study is a macro-scale plane stress model. The effects of cracks on the macro-scale behavior of SHCC coupling beams are smeared in an anisotropic model. In particular, the influence of the defined crack orientations on the simulation accuracy is explored. Extensive experimental data from coupling beams with different failure patterns are employed to evaluate the validity of the proposed SHCC coupling beam models. The results show that the use of the suggested shear stiffness retention factor for damaged SHCC coupling beams is able to effectively enhance the simulation accuracy, especially for shear-critical SHCC coupling beams. In addition, the definition of crack orientation for damaged coupling beams is found to be a critical factor influencing the simulation accuracy.

본 논문은 규칙기반 에이전트를 이용하여 여객선 화재시 피난행동특성을 고려한 승객행동모델을 제안한다. 기존 시스템들은 승객의 속도만을 반영한 속도기반모델을 사용하였다. 속도기반모델은 승객의 신체적 특징만 고려한 모델로 피난행동특성을 반영하기 어렵다. 이 문제점을 해결하기 위해 규칙기반 에이전트로 피난행동특성을 반영한 승객모델을 모델링하였다. 규칙기반 에이전트는 지식베이스와 추론엔진으로 구성된다. 지식베이스에는 피난행동특성들 중에서 다양한 행동 패턴을 보여줄 수 있는 예제를 선택하여 규칙형태의 지식으로 표현하고, 추론엔진은 지식을 전방추론하여 승객의 행위를 결정하도록 구현하였다. 이승객모델을 IMO MSC/Circ.1238의 문제 8에 적용하여 시뮬레이션을 진행한 결과 규칙기반 에이전트로 모델링한 승객이 다양한 인간의 행동 패턴을 표현할 수 있음을 검증하였다.

The paper addresses modeling and analysis of a grid-connected photovoltaic generation system (PV system). PSCAD/EMTDC, an industry standard simulation tool for studying the transient behavior of electric power system and apparatus, is used to conduct all aspects of model implementation and to carry out extensive simulation study. This paper is aimed at sharing with the PSCAD/EMTDC user community our user-defined model for PV system applications, which is not yet available as a standard model within PSCAD/EMTDC. An equivalent circuit model of a solar cell has been used for modeling solar array. A series of parameters required for array modeling have been estimated from general specification data of a solar module. A PWM voltage source inverter (VSI) and its current control scheme have been implemented. A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique is employed for drawing the maximum available energy from the PV array. Comprehensive simulation results are presented to examine PV array behaviors and PV system control performance in response to irradiation changes. In addition, dynamic responses of PV array and system to network fault conditions are simulated and analysed.

A design paradigm using sequential geometric programming is presented to accurately design CMOS op amps with BSIM3. It is based on new adaptive modeling of transistor parameters through the operating point simulation. This has low modeling cost as well as great simplicity and high accuracy. The short-channel dc, high-frequency small-signal, and short-channel noise models are used to characterize the physical behavior of submicron devices. For low-power and low-voltage design, this paradigm is extended to op amps operating in the subthreshold region. Since the biasing and modeling errors are less than 0.25%, the characteristics of the op amps well match simulation results. In addition, small dependency of design results on initial values indicates that a designed op amp may be close to the global optimum. Finally, the design paradigm is illustrated by optimizing CMOS op amps with accurate transfer function.

By the development of recent technology, a new variant of rotorcrafts having four rotors start drawing attention from aerial-robotics engineers more than before. Its potential spans from just being control device test bed to performing difficult task such as carrying surveillance device to unreachable places. In this regards, modeling a quad-rotor is significant in analyzing its dynamic behavior and in synthesizing control system for such a vehicle. This paper summarizes the modeling of a mini quad-rotor aerial vehicle. A first principle approach is considered for deriving the model based on Euler-Newton equations of motion. The result of the modeling is a simulation platform that is expected to acceptably predict the dynamic behavior of the quad-rotor in various flight conditions. Linear models associated with different flight condition can be extracted for the purpose of control synthesis.

Simulation is known to be a valuable tool for design and operation of Flexible Manufacturing Systems(FMSs) under study. However, in order for simulation to be useful, lots of knowledges about the behavior of system to be designed, statistics for output analysis, modeling techniques and a specific simulation language are required by the simulationist. In this paper a way to build simulation support system for nonexperts at simulation will be described and a simulation support system for FMS design and operation developed by the authors will be demonstrated.

에이전트 기반 모델링 및 시뮬레이션(Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation)은 기존 시스템 수준에서의 시뮬레이션이 구현할 수 없는 에이전트의 세밀한 행동과 상호작용을 활용하여 시장이나 사회 현상의 모델링에 사용되는 기술이다. 그러나 에이전트 기반 모델링 및 시뮬레이션은 에이전트 기반 시스템의 지식 수준에서의 합리성의 원칙에 기반하여 구현되기 때문에 스스로의 목표 달성을 저해하는 에이전트를 표현할 수 없다[1]. 에이전트 기반 소프트웨어 공학 분야에서는 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 사회적 수준에서의 행동 법칙을 통해 해결하였으나[2], 구체적인 개발 방법론은 제시가 되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 에이전트 기반 소프트웨어 공학 방법론인 트로포스와 사회적 행동 법칙을 결합하여 사회적 행동 법칙을 반영한 새로운 에이전트 기반 모델링 및 시뮬레이션 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 각 개발 단계별로 구체적인 과업을 명시하고 과업 별로 생성되는 산출물 분석을 통해 모델링 및 시뮬레이션의 과정을 설명한다. 또한 자가 적응적 스마트 그리드와 군 도메인 시스템에서의 구체적인 적용 사례와 실험을 통해 제안 방법을 검증한다.

While the importance of barrier-free and fire evacuation design is highlighted in architectural design education, systemic analysis, and examination on such performances are still challenging due to methodological lacks. The present study investigates the effectiveness of BIM-based human behavior simulation for architecture major students' analytical examinations to promote barrier-free and fire evacuation performances. To achieve such an aim, quasi-experiments were conducted, which compare 50 students' analysis and examination scores according to the use and non-use of the simulation, and the data were collected via participants' survey and interview. As a result, T-Test and MANOVA analyses indicate that, compared with its non-use counterpart, the use of human behavior simulation better facilitates the students' (1) examination of the physical properties and dimensions for the disabled's accessibility and evacuation, (2) understanding of the bodily capacity and handicap of the disabled, (3) examination on the spatial layouts and locations of exits, (4) understanding on evacuees' urgent behaviors, and (5) responsibility as an architect. Based on previous studies, the reasons of statistical results are interpreted as the explicit observation and analytical measures of multiple numbers of virtual-evacuees and direct-experience from body range of the disabled responding to the populated occupants as what they face in authentic reality.
