Evacuation Simulation Focusing on Modeling of Disabled People Movement

Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation on Emergency Evacuation

Crowd stampedes and evacuation induced by panic caused by emergences often lead to fatalities as people are crushed, injured, trampled or even dead. Such phenomena may be triggered in life-threatening situations such as fires, explosions in crowded buildings. Emergency evacuation simulation has recently attracted the interest of a rapidly increasing number of scientists. This paper presents an ...

Public Evacuation Process Modeling and Simulation Based on Cellular Automata

Considering attraction of the nearest exit, repulsive force of the fire, barrier and its display style, effect of fire exit location on escape time in fire hazard, a mathematical model of evacuation process model was build based on cellular automatic theory. The program was developed by JavaScript. The influencing factors of evacuation were obtained through the simulation model by inputting cre...

Modeling and Simulation of the Evacuation Process of Passenger Ships

The need to safely evacuate within very short time a large number of people from a confined space, such as the superstructure of large passenger ships, is a difficult task of great practical interest, as documented in recent discussions at the Marine Safety Committee of the International Maritime Organisation (MSC-IMO). This paper describes the methodology utilized by the code EVDEMON (EVacuati...

Application of Simulation Modeling for Hurricane Contraflow Evacuation Planning

Human Relationship Modeling in Agent-Based Crowd Evacuation Simulation

Crowd evacuation simulations are becoming a tool to analyze and assess the safety of occupants in buildings. Agent-based simulation provides a platform on which to compute individual and collective behaviors that occur in crowds. We propose a human behavior model in evacuation based on the Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) model and Helbing’s agent behavior model. Human relationships affect the sta...
