متن کاملOptimization based nonlinear feedback control for pedestrian evacuation from a network of corridors
An organized evacuation of pedestrians entrapped in a building in emergencies such as those caused by fire, bomb blast, or intentional or unintentional release of toxins in the environment is of utmost importance. The focus of this study is on the development of a formal control methodology for an orderly and jam-free evacuation of pedestrians entrapped in a network of corridors in buildings in...
متن کاملFactors 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 کاملQuantifying the effect of traffic on lead accumulation in soil: a case study in Iran
Road transport is a ubiquitous source of lead contamination in the soil near highways with direct and indirect impacts on human health. Accumulation of traffic-induced lead in the soils depends on gasoline lead content, traffic volume, as well as meteorological conditions. To evaluate the effect of traffic on soil lead concentration, 113 samples from the topsoil (0-15 cm) were collected in a re...
متن کاملModel Reference Adaptive Control Framework for Real Time Traffic Management under Emergency Evacuation
Recent natural or man-made disasters around the world have provided compelling evidence that transportation system plays a crucial role in the emergency evacuation and have stressed the need for effective evacuation traffic management to maximize the utilization of the transportation system and to minimize fatalities and losses. This paper presents a model reference adaptive control (MRAC) fram...
