Dynamic Evacuation Planning by Visual Analytics - An Expert Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 for building safety measures, and a building planner. The survey provides essential information needed to build a tool that is able to evacuate people inside a building safely. Additionally, we report on results of the survey regarding technical limitations in obtaining data such as the evacuees’ position and their number to calculate the shortest routes during evacuation.

Visual Analytics for Dynamic Evacuation Planning
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...

متن کاملOptimal Evacuation Solutions for Large-Scale Scenarios
Evacuation, the process of moving people out of potentially dangerous areas, is a key response to many threats. Planning such an evacuation is therefore important, especially in large-scale emergencies, where routing becomes non-trivial. This paper deals with the optimization and simulation of the evacuation process. We draw our data from the study of the city of Padang in Indonesia, with its h...
