Visual Analytics for Dynamic Evacuation Planning
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use visual analytics to assist human experts in the verification of evacuation schedules and enable them to identify the bottle-necks in building evacuation. The user can change parameters, such as the number of occupants present in the rooms, the parametric settings for fire simulation, the building design, etc. and analyze their effect on evacuation. Visualization of the people flow in the building combined with the computational techniques plays a great role in analyzing the evacuation process. This helps in understanding the movement of the people during evacuation, possible delays in evacuation process, etc. and it provides feedback to the user. We introduce a novel priority based distributed evacuation routing (PDER) algorithm that produces dynamic evacuation schedules and is designed to work smoothly and seamlessly in interactive exploratory environments for visual analysis of dynamically updated evacuation schedules.

Dynamic Evacuation Planning by Visual Analytics - An Expert Survey
In a formative user study, we evaluated the requirements of visual analytics for dynamic evacuation planning. To this end, we created a prototype that implements the visual analytics methodology and is able to compute, visualize, and interact with evacuation routes in emergency situations in buildings. Using this prototype, we conducted an expert survey including a psychologist, a consultant fo...

Application of the ideas of visual analytics is a promising approach to supporting decision making, in particular, where the problems have geographic (or spatial) and temporal aspects. Visual analytics may be especially helpful in time-critical applications, which pose hard challenges to decision support. We have designed a suite of tools to support transportationplanning tasks such as emergenc...

We describe a visual analytics method supporting the analysis of two different types of spatio-temporal data, point events and trajectories of moving agents. The method combines clustering with interactive visual displays, in particular, map and space-time cube. We demonstrate the use of the method by applying it to two datasets from the VAST Challenge 2008: evacuation traces (trajectories of p...
