TENDENKO: agent-based evacuation drill and emergency planning system
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evacuation drills are conducted periodically with the intent of practicing smooth evacuations from buildings, and for practicing rescue operations at emergency sites. An agentbased evacuation simulation with information diffusion provides a platform for simulating human evacuation behavior during emergencies that can be affected by various social and human factors. TENDENKO aims to conduct evacuation drills at buildings where real drills cannot be conducted, and to improve the buildings’ evacuation planning in order to save more lives during future emergencies.

This maxim dictates that the individual not stay and help others but run and preserve his or her life instead. Ts...

متن کاملModeling Social Groups and Roles in Egress Simulation
Emergency evacuation (egress) design and planning are important aspects in building and facility engineering. Studies of past emergency events indicate that evacuating occupants often exhibit social behaviors during the evacuation process. Such behaviors are often shaped by pre-existing social relationships and influenced by perceived information. This paper describes an on-going research effor...

We present a proof-of-concept agent-based simulation tool, for use in training by emergency services in Australia, for planning community evacuations in the event of a severe bushfire threat. The tool allows Incident Controller personnel to interactively schedule the evacuation of a town area, by sub-region, and then evaluate the effectiveness of their plan in terms of traffic flow and overall ...
