Calibrating Wayfinding Decisions in Pedestrian Simulation Models: The Entropy Map

Human-Computer Interaction 2019-09-10 v1 Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

This paper presents entropy maps, an approach to describing and visualising uncertainty among alternative potential movement intentions in pedestrian simulation models. In particular, entropy maps show the instantaneous level of randomness in decisions of a pedestrian agent situated in a specific point of the simulated environment with an heatmap approach. Experimental results highlighting the relevance of this tool supporting modelers are provided and discussed.
