What is Hardware implementation principles of a probabilistic CA-based crowd evacuation model about?

This paper presents the principles of the hardware implementation of a Cellular Automata (CA) model that simulates crowd evacuation based on the methodology proposed by Nishinari et al. This method introduces a probabilistic movement process. It takes under consideration spatial features as well as attributes of human behavior aiming at more realistic representations. Implementation is realised with the use of the hardware description language VHDL. In the hardware approach, each cell of the automaton is treated as a physical entity as it is represented as a component with its own inputs and outputs. Hardware implementation tries to exploit more efficiently the prominent feature of parallelism that CA intrinsically share. Thus, each cell is driven by a common clock signal that synchronises the whole implementation and all information are exchanged simultaneously.
