- 1. PandExit A tool for helping decision makers through the simulation of alternatives scenarios with a realistic agent-based model.
- 2. 1. What is PandExit? A simulation tool with a realistic agent-based model 2
- 3. “An agent based model is a class of computing models which simulate actions and interactions of a set of autonomous agents, with the objective of understanding and predicting the behavior of a system as a whole.

- 5. What is PandExit? 1. PandExit is a. A simulation tool. b. Agent based, with people/places/transports. c. Capable of modeling the outcomes of alternative scenarios depending on external circumstances or internal policies of a country. d. An assistant for informed decision making. 5
- 6. People PandExit simulates every person you enter into the system. Each one is an agent with its specific behavior... 7
- 7. Places … following its daily routine in a virtual world, commuting between his home and his job, or the school, or the supermarket... 8

- 14. More is better With more data, and more precise data, the quality of the simulation improves and so do the results. 24
- 16. QATAR prototype 1. One agent per person, 2.78 million agents. a. Adults and children with age and nationality following following public census information. b. Household conformation follows statistical patterns of public census information. 2. Home coordinates are assigned inside zones using density data extracted through computer vision. 3. Transports generated through statistical means. 35
