Abstract: The Hermes project [1] demonstrated the usefulness of on site predictive simulations of probable evacuation scenarios for security personnel. However, the hardware needed was prohibitively expensive [2]. For use in crowd management, the software has to run on available computers. The CA methods, which are fast enough, have well known problems with treating corners and turns. The present paper shows how a standard CA method can be modified to produce a realistic movement of people around bends and obstacles by changing the standard floor field. This can be done adaptively allowing for the momentary situation using simple predictions for the immediate future. The approach has one or two tuning parameter that have an obvious meaning and can therefore be set correctly by people not familiar with the inner process of a CA simulation. With this, a high end laptop can simulate more than 100 000 persons faster than real time, which should be enough for most occasions. It is intended to integrate the method into the tool JuPedSim [23].
