| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary The proposed novel data-driven crowd simulation framework integrates Physics-informed Machine Learning (PIML) with navigation potential fields. The approach leverages the strengths of both physical models and PIML by designing an innovative Physics-informed Spatio-temporal Graph Convolutional Network (PI-STGCN) to predict pedestrian movement trends based on crowd spatio-temporal data. Additionally, a physical model of navigation potential fields is constructed based on flow field theory to guide pedestrian movements, reinforcing physical constraints during the simulation. The framework demonstrates improved accuracy and fidelity compared to existing rule-based methods, with increased similarity between simulated and actual pedestrian trajectories (10.8%) and reduced average error (4%). Furthermore, it exhibits greater adaptability and better interpretability. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary The paper proposes a new way to simulate crowds using both physical rules and machine learning. It combines these two approaches to make the simulation more realistic and accurate. The method uses a special type of neural network called PI-STGCN to predict how people will move based on what has happened before. This is combined with a physical model that guides people’s movements, making sure they follow the same rules as real people would. The results show that this new approach works better than previous methods, and it can be used to create more realistic simulations of crowds. |
