Chibli Joumaa, Alexandre Caminada, Sid Lamrous · 2007
This paper presents a new mobility model: the mask based mobility model (MBMM). This model is based on ad hoc mobility studies and uses Markov chains to choose direction when simulating human displacement. The proposed model simulates real human displacement taking into account some information like terrain characteristic and urban infrastructure. After a brief overview of existing mobility models, the main features of MBMM are exposed: direction, path correction and attraction power, showing major advantages of the proposed model compared to already published works. Then simulation results for model validation purpose have shown a high degree of realism for individual motion.
