1. Macro modeling of swarm using vector field and continuum
For a simulation of swarm with a large numbers of individuals costs so much calculation. In this research, the swarm intent is macro-modeled by a vector field, and the congestion is evaluated quantitatively by using density of continuum model. At first, a touring route in the exibition space is set as shown in the bottom left figure. And vector field f(x) is designed so that it entraines the route.
The density of the continuum is calculated based on continuity equation.
The caliculation result of density is shown in the abobe movie. The congestion
is represented by density of continuum. |
