Cover Story: In this paper, we investigate the calibration of a mathematical model describing different behaviors occurring during a natural, a societal, or a technological catastrophe. This model was developed in collaboration with geographers and psychologists. To collect information on the level of stress, psychologists of the LPPL laboratory of Nantes (France) led virtual reality experiments. These experiments involved immersing individuals in a situation of catastrophe and measuring their electrocardiogram. From the physical and biological data collected, we present the methodology to calibrate the behavioral model. Through this work, we will show, from simulations, that the proposed system makes it possible to apprehend non-observable human processes. View this paper.
