Invisible control of self-organizing agents leaving unknown environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper we are concerned with multiscale modeling, control, and simulation of self-organizing agents leaving an unknown area under limited visibility, with special emphasis on crowds.

Ridesharing Evacuation Models of Disaster Response

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2022
Timely evacuation is crucial to disaster response, as people can avoid suffering and loss of lives when a major disaster happens. With the development of sharing economy, ridesharing has the advantage of reducing congestion, saving travel time, and optimizing transportation mode to improve disaster evacuation efficiency. The paper proposes to integrate

Simulation Research on Fire Evacuation of Large Public Buildings Based on Building Information Modeling

open access: yesComplex System Modeling and Simulation, 2021
Reasonable evacuation strategies are important in reducing casualties in the event of a fire. In this work, we conduct a simulation of a fire evacuation of a large public building based on the building information modeling technology to find the best ...

Modeling roadway temperatures for wildfire evacuation and assessment of pavement damage

open access: yesJournal of Infrastructure Preservation and Resilience, 2023
Wildfires can cause enormous loss of assets and human lives, and thus, timely evacuation from the wildfire zone is critical to saving lives. Understanding evacuation route conditions, including traffic and temperature data, is imperative for safe ...

Dynamics of pedestrians in regions with no visibility - a lattice model without exclusion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We investigate the motion of pedestrians through obscure corridors where the lack of visibility (due to smoke, fog, darkness, etc.) hides the precise position of the exits.

Integrating Panic Behavior into Agent-Based Subway Evacuation Simulations

open access: yesBuildings
Subway systems are highly vulnerable to disasters because of their confined underground structures and limited evacuation routes, making accurate evacuation analysis essential for reducing casualties.

A Semi-Lagrangian scheme for a modified version of the Hughes model for pedestrian flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper we present a Semi-Lagrangian scheme for a regularized version of the Hughes model for pedestrian flow. Hughes originally proposed a coupled nonlinear PDE system describing the evolution of a large pedestrian group trying to exit a domain as

Modelling Bushfire Evacuation Behaviours

open access: yesCoRR, 2019
Bushfires pose a significant threat to Australia's regional areas. To minimise risk and increase resilience, communities need robust evacuation strategies that account for people's likely behaviour both before and during a bushfire. Agent-based modelling (ABM) offers a practical way to simulate a range of bushfire evacuation scenarios. However, the ABM

Typology-Specific Gaps in Building Fire Safety: A Scientometric Review of Technologies, Functions, and Research Trends

open access: yesFire
Fires remain a critical threat to the resilience and safety of the built environment, yet current research is often fragmented across building types, technologies, and functions. This study investigates typology-specific gaps in fire safety by conducting
