The importance of social distancing for public health is well established However, the policies and regulations regarding occupancy rates have not been designed with this in mind While there are analytical tools and related measures that are used in practice to evaluate how the design of a built environment serves the needs of its intended occupants, these metrics cannot directly apply to the problem of preventing the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 By using a crowd-based simulator using three levels of behavior and agent control in a given environment, a novel evaluation metric for a space layout can be calculated to reflect the proclivity of maintaining a safe distance throughout the shopping experience We refer to this metric as the Social Distancing Index (SDI), accounting for the occupancy throughput and number of distance-based violations found Through a case study of a realistic retail store, we demonstrate the proposed platforms performance and output on multiple scenarios by changing agent-behavior, occupancy rate, and navigational guidelines © 2020 ACM
