This paper presents entropy maps, an approach to describing and visualising uncertainty among alternative potential movement intentions in pedestrian simulation models. In particular, entropy maps show the instantaneous level of randomness in decisions of a pedestrian agent situated in a specific point of the simulated environment with an heatmap approach. Experimental results highlighting the relevance of this tool supporting modelers are provided and discussed.
