Ship Evacuation – Guidelines, Simulation, Validation, and Acceptance Criteria
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with various aspects of ship evacuation: Guidelines, Simulation, Validation, and Acceptance Criteria. The paper is structured along those aspects. The first chapter deals with general aspects of ship evacuation, like environmental influences, ship motion, the special procedures on board ships, etc. The second chapter covers the guidelines applicable to evacuation analyses for passenger ships developed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Chapter 3 is dedicated to the simulation of evacuation processes on passenger ships. The last two chapters deal with the calibration of evacuation models for ships and the validation of simulation results.

A study on experiment of human behavior for evacuation simulation
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 we...
متن کاملVELOS - A VR Environment for Ship Applications: Current Status and Planned Extensions
Virtual Environment for Life On Ships (VELOS) is a multiuser Virtual Reality (VR) system that supports designers to assess (early in the design process) passenger and crew activities on a ship for both normal and hectic conditions of operations and to improve the ship design accordingly [1]. Realistic simulations of behavioral aspects of crowd in emergency conditions require modeling of panic a...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of the Evacuation Process of Passenger Ships
The need to safely evacuate within very short time a large number of people from a confined space, such as the superstructure of large passenger ships, is a difficult task of great practical interest, as documented in recent discussions at the Marine Safety Committee of the International Maritime Organisation (MSC-IMO). This paper describes the methodology utilized by the code EVDEMON (EVacuati...
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 ...
