2019ICM PROBLEM D Simulation of Emergency Exits Using Cellular Automata

In the 2019 ICM PROBLEM D, the task was to simulate the behavior of emergency exits using cellular automata. Cellular automata are computational models that consist of a grid of cells, each of which can be in a certain state. The simulation aimed to analyze the effectiveness of different exit strategies in emergency situations, taking into account factors such as crowd density, exit capacity, and obstacles. By modeling the movement of individuals within the simulation, we were able to study the impact of various parameters on the evacuation time and overall safety. The insights gained from this research can contribute to the development of efficient emergency exit designs and evacuation protocols.
