Stochastic network evacuation models

Computers & Operations Research, 1985
Abstract Stochastic network evacuation models are crucial for the safe evacuation of occupants from buildings. In this paper, we compare an analytical closed queueing network and a simulation model for analyzing the evacuation of occupants from a hospital.

Network models for building evacuation

Fire Technology, 1982
How can a large building with many occupants be evacuated in minimum time, and where are bottlenecks likely to occur in such an evacuation? In order to address this question we have constructed a family of three network building evacuation models. The most general model of interest, called the dynamic model, represents the evacuation of a building as ...

Study on evacuation model and algorithm for emergency evacuation

2008 7th World Congress on Intelligent Control and Automation, 2008
Evacuation model and algorithm in emergency are presented to deal with evacuation routes construction and network distribution in each network junctions in order to deliver the traffic flow in evacuation area to safe region rapidly and safely. The evacuation routes construction problem is formulated as a transshipment problem based on network flow ...

A Model for the Management of Building Evacuation

SIMULATION, 1989
The process of emergency evacuation of large buildings has been modeled by computing the theoretically most efficient paths for occupants and then attempt ing to realise this recommenda tion in evacuation planning and management. A simulation approach is presented which reverses this sequence.

The Exodus Evacuation Model Applied To Building Evacuation Scenarios

Journal of Fire Protection Engineering, 1996
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the potential of the EXODUS evacuation model in building environments. The latest PC/workstation version of EXODUS is described and is also applied to a large hypothetical supermarket/restaurant complex measuring 50 m x 40 m.

Research on the Evacuation Complexity Model in Mass Emergency Evacuation

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2012
Based on the analysis of the mixed traffic evacuation in china, this paper presents the behavior characteristics and inherent laws of the mixed traffic evacuation, designs the quantification model of evacuation behaviors and utility index of mixed traffic evacuation.

Subway Fire Evacuation Simulation Model

2014 International Conference on Identification, Information and Knowledge in the Internet of Things, 2014
Fire is an increasing cause of casualties in modernlife. Many people are killed in fire accidents every year. Theworst thing is that people can hardly detect where and when afire will occur. Thus it is difficult to know which evacuationpath is effective and safe in advance.

Modeling social behaviors in an evacuation simulator

Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds, 2014
ABSTRACTBuilding occupants perceive information about the surrounding environment and navigate for safety during emergency evacuation (egress). They often choose their actions by interacting with their social groups and observing the actions of the surrounding crowd.

Modeling Evacuation Planning Using A-Prolog

15th International Conference on Electronics, Communications and Computers (CONIELECOMP'05), 2005
In this work, we present current results of our research, the goal of which is to develop a decision support system (DSS) as an extension of a geographical information system (GIS) to model evacuation plans. We presents why an A-Prolog approach seems to be appropriated to explore in order to add the planning operation as an extension of a GIS. In order
