Network Models for Building Evacuation
Management Science, 1982How 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 ...

Evacuation Processes Versus Evacuation Models: “Quo Vadimus”?
Fire Technology, 2008This paper promotes a discussion about evacuation models and their relation with evacuation processes. For this reason, the question “quo vadimus” (i.e., from Latin: where are we going to?) intends to initiate this discussion. Therefore, a brief overview of the importance of the evacuation modelling analysis within the Fire Safety Engineering (FSE ...

Stochastic network evacuation models
Computers & Operations Research, 1985Abstract 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.

Study on evacuation model and algorithm for emergency evacuation
2008 7th World Congress on Intelligent Control and Automation, 2008Evacuation 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, 1989The 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, 1996The 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.

Subway Fire Evacuation Simulation Model
2014 International Conference on Identification, Information and Knowledge in the Internet of Things, 2014Fire 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.
