Assessment and Analysis of Evacuation Processes on Passenger Ships by Microscopic Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The analysis of evacuation processes onboard passenger ships has attracted increasing interest over the last years. Cellular automaton models, widely used for traffic simulations, provide a natural approach towards pedestrian dynamics. Two major difficulties are intrinsical to the problem: two-dimensional movement of pedestrians and the complexity of psychological and social influences. An improved CA-model which allows complex routechoice-behaviour for the description of crowd motion is presented and its implementation in a simulation software outlined.

Simulating mustering and evacuation processes onboard passenger vessels: model and applications
The analysis of evacuation processes onboard passenger ships has attracted increasing interest over the last years. Especially the introduction of so called performance based requirements as stated in SOLAS II-2/28-1.3 leads towards a more comprehensive assessment. However, for a thorough investigation of the evacuation performance it is not sufficient to look only at the geometry, like hydraul...

متن کاملMicroscopic Simulation of Evacuation Processes on Passenger Ships
The analysis of evacuation processes on-board passenger ships has attracted increasing interest over the last years. Most of the approaches utilise so called flow models. Cellular automaton models, widely used for traffic simulations, on the other hand provide a more natural approach towards pedestrian dynamics. Two major difficulties are intrinsical to the problem: two-dimensional movement of ...
متن کاملCollision and Grounding of Passenger Ships – Risk Assessment and Emergency Evacuations
This paper considers collision and grounding of passenger ships. Subsequent to a collision or grounding, there might be water ingress into the compartments and the risk of sinking exists. In such circumstances, timely and effective evacuation of all passengers and crew will be extremely important, and failure to evacuate in time may lead to catastrophic consequences. This paper presents probabi...
