In some countries, these kinds of activities are the only way to express public displeasure with their government. The government\u2019s reactions to such activities may or may not be tolerant. For this reason, such situations must be eliminated by recognizing when and how they are likely to occur, and then providing guidelines to mitigate them. In urban areas, police and military forces use non-lethal weapons (NLWs), such as rubber bullets or clubs, to control a violent and destructive crowd. In order to estimate the results of this engagement, ensuring minimum injuries and reaching an optimal end state, simulating such actions in a virtual environment is necessary. In this work, a fuzzy logic-based crowd injury model for determining the physical effects of NLWs is proposed. Fuzzy logic concepts can be applied to a problem by using linguistic rules, which are determined by problem domain experts. A group of police and military officers were consulted for a set of injury model rules, and those rules were then included in the simulation platform. Sensitivity analysis has been conducted to analyze parameters in the model. As a proof of the concept, a prototype system was implemented using the Repast Simphony agent-based simulation toolkit. Simulation results illustrated the effectiveness of the simulation framework.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0037549713518598","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,16]],"date-time":"2014-01-16T00:11:46Z","timestamp":1389831106000},"page":"320-336","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Fuzzy logic approach and sensitivity analysis for agent-based crowd injury modeling"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"90","author":[{"given":"Emin","family":"Kugu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Turkish Air Force Academy, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Old Dominion University, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frederic D","family":"McKenzie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Old Dominion University, USA"},{"name":"Department of Modeling, Simulation and Visualization Engineering, Old Dominion University, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ozgur Koray","family":"Sahingoz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Turkish Air Force Academy, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0037549713518598","first-page":"55","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 2005 conference on behavior representation in modeling and simulation (BRIMS)","author":"Nguyen QH"},{"key":"bibr2-0037549713518598","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1142\/S0218202510004799"},{"key":"bibr3-0037549713518598","first-page":"11","volume":"15","author":"Gherasim Z","year":"2010","journal-title":"Metal Int"},{"key":"bibr4-0037549713518598","first-page":"150","volume-title":"4th international conference on logistics (LOGISTIQUA)","author":"Beltaief O"},{"key":"bibr5-0037549713518598","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/9780470998458.ch8"},{"key":"bibr6-0037549713518598","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cav.238"},{"key":"bibr7-0037549713518598","first-page":"483","volume-title":"Proceedings of spring simulation interoperability workshop (SIW)","author":"Petty MD"},{"key":"bibr8-0037549713518598","volume-title":"Discrete-event system simulation","author":"Banks J","year":"2001"},{"key":"bibr9-0037549713518598","volume-title":"Proceedings of the agent 2006 conference on social agents: results and prospects","author":"Howe TR"},{"key":"bibr10-0037549713518598","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0037549706073695"},{"key":"bibr11-0037549713518598","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0037549709106328"},{"key":"bibr12-0037549713518598","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ins.2009.09.014"},{"key":"bibr13-0037549713518598","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.simpat.2008.07.004"},{"key":"bibr14-0037549713518598","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 2009 winter simulation conference","author":"White KP"},{"key":"bibr15-0037549713518598","first-page":"12","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 2009 winter simulation conference","author":"Law AM"},{"key":"bibr16-0037549713518598","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/1842722.1842725"},{"key":"bibr17-0037549713518598","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0037549705058073"},{"key":"bibr18-0037549713518598","first-page":"95","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 39th winter simulation conference","author":"Macal CM"},{"key":"bibr19-0037549713518598","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mcm.2010.06.012"},{"key":"bibr20-0037549713518598","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ssci.2005.11.007"},{"key":"bibr21-0037549713518598","unstructured":"Silverman B, Bharathy GK, Damghani BM, Design of agent\u2013injury modeling [Report].
