1. **Pedestrian Entity:** - **Description:** Represents individuals moving through the hotel lobby. - **Actions:** Can navigate, change direction, and interact with other entities. 2. **Obstacle Object:** - **Description:** Represents physical obstructions like furniture or temporary barriers. - **Actions:** Can impede pedestrian movement and trigger rerouting. 3. **Entrance/Exit Points:** - **Description:** Represent the doors or access points in the lobby. - **Actions:** Pedestrians can enter or exit the simulation through these points. 4. **Navigation Graph:** - **Description:** Represents the layout of the lobby, including paths and connections. - **Actions:** Used for pathfinding algorithms to simulate realistic pedestrian movement. 5. **Pedestrian Generator:** - **Description:** Creates new pedestrian entities at specific intervals. - **Actions:** Regulates the flow of individuals entering the lobby. 6. **Time-of-Day Simulator:** - **Description:** Simulates different times of the day. - **Actions:** Affects pedestrian behavior, such as rush hours or leisurely strolls. 7. **Pedestrian Behavior Model:** - **Description:** Defines the behavior of individual pedestrians. - **Actions:** Specifies factors like walking speed, preferred paths, and reactions to obstacles. 8. **Event Trigger System:** - **Description:** Handles random or predefined events in the lobby. - **Actions:** Initiates reactions, like crowd dispersal during emergencies or spontaneous gatherings. 9. **Security System:** - **Description:** Simulates security personnel or surveillance technology. - **Actions:** Monitors pedestrian behavior, intervenes during disturbances, or manages evacuation procedures. 10. **Data Logging Module:** - **Description:** Records and analyzes pedestrian movement data. - **Actions:** Provides insights into traffic patterns, peak hours, and potential congestion points. 11. **Emergency Evacuation Protocol:** - **Description:** Defines procedures for evacuating pedestrians in case of emergencies. - **Actions:** Triggers evacuation alarms, guides pedestrians to safety, and simulates emergency response. In a multiple-choice question, focus on the key features and actions of these objects, highlighting the correct options that contribute to a comprehensive pedestrian traffic simulation in a hotel lobby.
