Multi-agent-based System to Model and Simulate the Emergency Response in Metropolis

Abstract

Emergency incidents happen frequently and cause huge loss of both lives and properties. However, in the traditional emergency response cycle, the involvement of human operators and resource dispatchers make bad decisions in some cases and the communications between different departments are in low efficiencies. Thus, Effective and rapid emergency response is very necessary. This paper discusses some existing approaches which can assist the emergency responses then propose a multi-agent-based system to model and simulate the emergency response cycle in real life in order to improve the efficiency of the emergency response.
