Abstract

"Mexican wave" is an interesting phenomenon in a stadium, and has attracted much attention. Some researchers have established models to reproduce it, and related mechanisms have been understood. However, the influence of some factors such as density and individuals' visual field on this process has not been well investigated. Hence, this paper aims to simulate wave propagation by modifying a model introduced by Farkas et al. Detailed rules are given. After involving the effect of average density, it is observed that there will be a decrease in activation threshold if the average density decreases. This result is reasonable, and can be analyzed by calculations. Then, spectators' visual field is considered in the model. The influence of initial locations of triggering group members on activation thresholds is discussed. Results demonstrate that it is easier to generate a wave at a relatively large average density if the location is in front rows of a stadium. It is hoped that this study will be helpful in a deep understand of the propagation mechanisms of Mexican waves and in crowd management.
