The app was developed as a quick and easy tool for pedestrian flow simulation that can be used in the early stages of architectural design. An agent-based approach has been implemented, where autonomous behaviours are replaced by an environment-based logic relying on agent grouping and the generation of the corresponding dynamic flow fields.

The main pathfinding algorithm relies on Fast Marching which is used to compute a monotone front propagation of anisotropic nature, by solving the eikonal equation. Due to the inherently sequential nature of this algorithm and the consequences this can have on real-time performance, Unity's DOTs have been extensively implemented to parallelize as many processes as possible.

The app collects and visualizes real-time data that can be both relevant to the crowd behaviour as well as selected architectural features.
