An improved social force model (ISFM)-based crowd evacuation simulation method in virtual reality with a subway fire as a case study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Digital Earth, 2023
Crowd evacuation simulation using virtual reality (VR) is significant for digital emergency response construction. However, existing evacuation simulation studies suffer from poor adaptation to complex environments, inefficient evacuations, and poor ...

Fire evacuation supported by centralized and decentralized visual guidance systems

open access: yesSafety Science, 2022
In the event of fires and other hazards, visual guidance systems that support evacuation are critical for the safety of individuals. Current visual guidances for evacuations are typically non-adaptive signs in that they always indicate the same exit ...

The MATSim Network Flow Model for Traffic Simulation Adapted to Large-Scale Emergency Egress and an Application to the Evacuation of the Indonesian City of Padang in Case of a Tsunami Warning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The evacuation of whole cities or even regions is an important problem, as demonstrated by recent events such as evacuation of Houston in the case of Hurricane Rita or the evacuation of coastal cities in the case of Tsunamis.

Promotion and Evacuation [PDF]

open access: yesThe Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2009
Promotion and evacuation are bijections on the set of linear extensions of a finite poset first defined by Schützenberger. This paper surveys the basic properties of these two operations and discusses some generalizations. Linear extensions of a finite poset $P$ may be regarded as maximal chains in the lattice $J(P)$ of order ideals of $P$.

EvacuAI: An Analysis of Escape Routes in Indoor Environments with the Aid of Reinforcement Learning

open access: yesSensors, 2023
There is only a very short reaction time for people to find the best way out of a building in a fire outbreak. Software applications can be used to assist the rapid evacuation of people from the building; however, this is an arduous task, which requires ...
