Simulating the Movement of Crowds in the Holy City of Karbala

Abstract

Crowds are a feature of cities that receive important events and events, where a large number of people gather at a particular event location (a ceremonial celebration of a historic event - pilgrimage season - religious visits in Iraq - etc.). Crowd density depends on two basic variables (Event importance), (event space) The holy city
centers of Iraq are of great importance in receiving large numbers of crowds during religious visits. The holy city of Karbala is one of the most popular cities in terms of its historical and urban values and the speciality of its urban center, which is the presence of the tombs of Imam Hussein and his brother Abbas. It is assumed that the crowds who come to a specific location are distributed in a balanced manner within the space allocated to them, but the high density of the number of people in the center of Karbala during the important visits represented (visit Arafa - visit Ashura – visit al arbaena In addition to the concept of simulation and its importance, the AnyLogic 7.0 Professional simulation program was applied to the Bin Al Haramain area which is
considered The overall space of the human crowds was proposed a general scenario for the city center of Karbala, the requirements of the functional and service as well as a plan for a proposal for spending between the two regions.
