Investigating cultural aspects in the fundamental diagram using convolutional neural networks and virtual agent simulation
Abstract
This paper presents a study, organized in two phases, regarding group behavior in a controlled experiment focused on differences in an important attribute that vary across cultures—personal spaces. First, we want to study and compare the spatial behavior different populations adopt with respect to their personal space. Second, we want to use simulation of virtual agents to artificially generate movements of people in similar situations and validate them using real video sequences. Our main goal is to be able to extract from video sequences and then simulate variations in populations in a coherent way with literature that studies cultural aspects. In addition to the cultural aspects, we also investigate the personality model in the studied videos using OCEAN (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism). Finally, we propose a way to simulate the fundamental diagram experiment from other countries using the OCEAN psychological trait model as input. Results indicate that the simulated countries have consistent characteristics with the expected literature.
