Menge
A modular framework for simulating crowd movement and pedestrian behavior in virtual environments.
What is Menge?
Menge is an open-source crowd simulation framework for modeling pedestrian movement and behavior in virtual environments. It provides tools to simulate realistic crowd dynamics, from simple agent interactions to complex behavioral models, helping researchers and developers study or integrate crowd behavior into applications like urban planning, games, and training simulations.
Researchers in crowd dynamics, simulation engineers, and developers building applications that require realistic pedestrian behavior (e.g., video games, architectural visualization, evacuation planning).
Menge offers a modular, extensible architecture that separates simulation logic from visualization, making it easy to customize and integrate into existing pipelines. Unlike monolithic simulators, it supports plugins and XML-based configuration, enabling rapid prototyping and academic experimentation without deep code modifications.
