The applet requires Java 1.4.1 or higher. It will not run on Windows 95 or Mac OS 8 or 9. Mac users must have OS X 10.2.6 or higher and use a browser that supports Java 1.4. (Safari works, IE does not. Mac OS X comes with Safari. Open Safari and set it as your default web browser under Safari/Preferences/General.) On other operating systems, you may obtain the latest Java plugin from Sun's Java site.

WHAT IS IT?

In this model we perform an agent-based simulation of people visiting a museum. The environment has not a fixed geometry, but is easily modifiable using the mouse. Also a set of model parameters is changeable by interface. Our purpose is to evaluate the average degree of satisfaction of all the agents visiting the museum by varying environment and model parameters. It is also possible to implement an alarm dynamics via a switch you can find on the interface.


HOW IT WORKS

Each patch colour indicates a different property of the environmental object (walls are grey, the entrance is red, the exit is blue, artworks are yellow, doors are green, free spaces are black) which agents recognize and with which they interact.
Visitors access the museum by the red entrance in groups of randomly selected sizes separated by variable intervals of time.
The motion of the visitors is constrained by the colour of the patches and follows a few intuitive rules. Each agent possesses a tunable radius of vision and is attracted by doors and artworks he can see. At each time step, in absence of obstacles, each agent move one step (i.e. a patch) towards his target, either a door or an artwork; people that saw an artwork are dynamically stored in an individual list of that artwork, roughly simulating human memory, so that one visitor will not attend twice the same artwork. In presence of obstacles, walls or other people, agents try to avoid them going around, until they reach the following door or fruition area near to an artwork. A given agent has a random interest for each artwork, i.e. the time that he is willing to spend enjoying that artwork. The degree of interest is randomly selected within a fixed range. Once the visit is over, visitors exit through the blue door.


HOW TO USE IT

Starting to use this model you have two choices: if you click on the button 'Setup standard environment' you will achieve a simple configuration in which there are four rooms and an artwork in each of them; otherwise, if you click on the button 'Setup empty environment' you will get an empty closed environment. You can also click on 'Setup model X', where X goes from A to E, achieving different configurations,more complicated than the previous ones.
Anyway you can modify the environment simply using the mouse: you will be able to draw environmental objects just clicking on 'draw' and then selecting on a chooser what you wish to insert (namely a door, an artwork, an entrance, an exit or a wall). Moreover, if you want to delete an object you are allowed to do it. You can also export your world writing it on a .csv file using the 'export world' button; then you will be able to reimport it opening the NetLogo file and using the 'import world' button.

Before starting the simulation you can establish the values of the five model parameters by using the sliders present in the interface:
1) interval: set the time elapsed between the admission of two different visiting groups
2) num_max: set the maximum size of the visiting groups
3) visual_radius: set the agents' radius of vision
4) max_looking_time: set the maximum time each agent will spend enjoying an artwork
5) stray_time: set the maximum time with no object in a room necessary to let an agent escape from that room
Finally you can check the degree of satisfaction of the turtles already exited, number of turtles involved in the simulation and touring time of the turtles by looking the following plots:
1) 'satisfaction'
2) 'turtles'
3) 'life'

Then clicking on 'go' button, the simulation will run indefinitely until you re-click 'go'. Otherwise, a click on 'go once' give you the possibility to run the model only for one tick.


THINGS TO NOTICE AND TO TRY

We notice that modifying the structure of the environment and/or the parameters of the simulation it is possible to increase the average degree of satisfaction of the agentset.


EXTENDING THE MODEL

It could be interesting to introduce some genetic algorithms in order to better select the optimal model parameters.


NETLOGO FEATURES

We used a lot of NetLogo features in order to build this model but some of them were especially significant :
1) the possibility of defining turtles and patches-own variables.
2) the possibility of using dynamical lists to store some important tags.
3) the possibility of drawing environments just using the mouse and to export them.


RELATED MODELS

We started from the work 'Multi agent simulation of pedestrian behaviour in closed spatial environments' developed by Francesca Camillen, Salvatore Capr�, Cesare Garofalo, Matteo Ignaccolo, Giuseppe Inturri, Alessandro Pluchino, Andrea Rapisarda and Salvatore Tudisco from the University of Catania ( Italy).
