Effectiveness of Epidemic Control in Shopping Centers Based on Anylogic Platform: A Case Study of Handan Weilaishi Shopping Center

ABSTRACT

From the perspective of COVID-19's prevention and control, to test effectiveness of existing control measures for shopping center buildings, taking Weilaishi Shopping Center of Handan City as an example, Anylogic software is used for analogue simulation of the whole shopping process. According to existing control means of Weilaishi Shopping Center, the model sets three different simulation conditions "no control state", "restricting entrance and exit opening" and "increasing epidemic prevention distance". The epidemic prevention effects of different control methods are intuitively displayed through the simulated output thermal diagram and the statistical diagram of the number of infected people. The results show that restricting the opening of entrances and exits can reduce the number of infected people by 36%, and increasing the epidemic prevention distance can reduce the number of infected people by 89.8%. Both control methods can play a certain epidemic prevention effect.
