A configurable agent-based crowd model with generic behavior effect representation mechanism (2014)
Journal Article
Sun, Q., & Wu, S. (2014). A configurable agent-based crowd model with generic behavior effect representation mechanism. Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, 29(7), 531-545. https://doi.org/10.1111/mice.12081

Most of the existing crowd models were designed for specific behaviors or scenarios (e.g., emergency evacuations and bi-directional crowd flows). Significant modifications were often required to accommodate new behaviors or new scenarios. This articl...

How can Building Information Modelling (BIM) support the New Rules of Measurement (NRM1) (2014)
Report
Wu, S., Ginige, K., Wood, G., & Jong, S. (2014). How can Building Information Modelling (BIM) support the New Rules of Measurement (NRM1)

The emergence of BIM has remarkably changed the way the construction industry operates. BIM through its extensive digital capability of virtually representing physical and functional characteristics of a built facility creates a shared source of i...
