Agent architecture for simulating pedestrians in the built environment

The paper discusses an agent architecture for investigating visualized simulated pedestrian activity and behavior affecting pedestrian flows within the built environment. The approach will lead to a system that may serve as a decision support tool in the design process for predicting the likely impact of design parameters on pedestrian flows. UML diagrams are used to communicate about the interpretation of the agent architecture.
