A study on experiment of human behavior for evacuation simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Walking speed is a very important factor in evacuation analysis for human safety. To provide against emergencies such as abandonment of ship due to accident, the authority body required evacuation analysis for passenger ships. To develop a simulation tool for the evacuation analysis, human behavior data for evacuation situations are fundamentally necessary. In this paper, onboard experiments were carried out twice, once with ship motion and another without ship motion. They were performed assuming the situation where subjects are evacuating under instructions from the crew without panic. Not only individual movement but also group movement with and without motion based on inclination was covered. # 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Factors Influencing Failure Emergency Evacuation in Work Environments during Fire
One of the necessary measures of saving human life in emergency situations, such as fires, is the safe and swift evacuation of people. The prerequisites for this are to anticipate, identify, and eliminate factors preventing people from leaving buildings in a timely and safe manner while moving them to a safe place [1]. The occurrence of errors caused by engineering, design, human, and psycholog...
متن کاملPsychological Aspects of Human Dynamics in Underground Evacuation: Field Experiments
The relevance of individual and social human factors in evacuation generally has been accepted, but only few studies aim at determining their specific influence on evacuation behavior. Data come from accident analysis, laboratory experiments, and field studies. A series of studies including passenger counts, passenger interviews and field experiments is reported. Data show that many passengers ...
متن کاملImpact of architectural variables on evacuation time of a classroom in emergencies
Investigating the process of evacuating people from a space such as a stadium, theater, or classroom is very interesting not only for managers and relief organizations but also for designers and researchers in the field of architecture. In this study, the evacuation process of a classroom with 42 students in emergencies was investigated by computer-based simulation using the A* algorithm and th...
متن کاملAgent-based Simulation of Pedestrian Evacuation in Virtual Geographic Environment
Agent-based model has found great interest in simulation of pedestrian evacuation since it better represent the intelligent and self-organized behavior patterns of pedestrians. However, model validation and the user’s cognitive perspective have always been the two challenges in agent-based simulation. Therefore, this paper presents an approach to implement agent-based simulation of pedestrian e...
متن کاملAgent-Based Evacuation Behavior Simulations and Evacuation Guidance
Building evacuation analysis has recently received increasing attention, as people are keen to assess the safety of occupants. Reports on past disasters indicate that human behavior characterizes evacuation during emergencies. The understanding and modeling of human behavior enable improved design of evacuation plans to better reflect the needs of occupants — for example, to reduce evacuation t...
