A Spatio-Temporal Cognitive Framework for Individual Route Choice in Outdoor Evacuation Scenarios
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2022 Route choice is a complex issue in simulating individual behaviors and reproducing collective phenomena during evacuations. A growing concern has been given to the individual cognitive mechanism to investigate how routing decisions are made in specific ...
