Planning the evacuation of people from crowded places, such as squares, stadiums, or indoor arenas during emergency scenarios is a fundamental task that authorities must deal with. This article summarizes the work of the authors to simulate an emergency scenario in a square using NetLogo, a multi-agent programmable modeling environment. The emergency scenario is based on a real event, which took place in Piazza San Carlo, Turin, on the 3rd of June 2017. The authors have developed a model and conducted various experiments, the results of which are presented, discussed and analyzed. The article concludes by offering suggestions for further research and summarizing the key takeaways.
