The core of this research is related to the human crowd problem. Some major problems are congestion, emergency evacuation, and fatal catastrophe. In fact, it has been realized that many crowd related problems can be resolved by influencing (controlling) human flow with providing various control measures. Thus, the problem itself becomes the motivation for this research and the solution is approached through model and simulation within the virtual environment. The relationship between fractal pattern and crowd behavior is produced with respect to the crowd behavior model. It exposes a comparison between the crowd paths resulting from the model developed and the fractal formation created to imitate the crowd paths. A new approach for crowd behavior modeling is proposed based on fractal features and, thus, gives new understanding about a relationship between fractal pattern and crowd behavior. Several innovations of fractal patterns that can be used in crowd behavior model applications adds to the novelty of the research contribution. Ultimately, the new method of modeling the crowd can be obtained and at the same time the new direction of crowd modeling research can be directed.

Emergency evacuation of crowds is a fascinating phenomenon that has attracted researchers from various fields. Better understanding of this class of crowd behavior opens up for improving evacuation policies and smarter design of buildings, increasing safety. Recently, a new class of disruptive technology has appeared: Human-centered sensing which allows crowd behavior to be monitored in real-time, and provides the basis for real-time crowd control. The question then becomes: to what degree can previous crowd models incorporate this development, and what areas need further research? In this paper, the authors provide a survey that describes some widely used crowd models and discuss the advantages and shortages from the angle of human-centered sensing. Their review reveals important research opportunities that may contribute to an improved and more robust emergency management.
