Abstract

The Whale-Bat Chaotic Algorithm (WOABCM) is a revolutionary tool for optimizing pathfinding navigation in crowd evacuation scenarios. Conventional evacuation plans rely on static routes, causing traffic jams and decreased safety. WOABCM uses the erratic behavior of whales and bats to optimize escape routes in real time, making it particularly useful in large crowd evacuations. The algorithm can adapt to different scenarios, ensuring its continued efficacy across real-world conditions. Iteratively iterating through the evacuation environment, WOABCM iteratively finds the most effective ways for agents to reach exits. In this experiment, the results show notable improvements in evacuation times, with WOABCM determining and directing agents through the shortest and least crowded paths in a room setting and assigning agents to exits in more complicated scenarios. The algorithm's flexibility also allows it to swiftly recompute pathways for agents, avoiding obstructions or congestion points. This groundbreaking approach to crowd evacuation simulation demonstrates how chaos theory-inspired algorithms can be used to solve practical problems
