Modeling social behaviors in an evacuation simulator
Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds, 2014ABSTRACTBuilding 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), 2005In 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

Fire evacuation model with confidence intervals
2011 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering, 2011In building fire evacuation, good guidance can speed up egress process and occupants may be injured due to lack of information and guidance. There are many studies on building egress systems, which use relevant information (e.g., fire condition and its evolution) to calculate and provide guidance to occupants.

An evacuation model considering human behavior
2017 IEEE 14th International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC), 2017This paper conducts a series of evacuation trials to observe human behavior under different ship rolling angles modeled as a function of wind-wave dynamics. A velocity reduction model is then developed with the consideration of human characteristics, ship rolling angles and wind-wave dynamics.

A Computational Model of Hurricane Evacuation Decision
International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2020Hurricanes are devastating natural disasters. In deciding how to respond to a hurricane, in particular whether and when to evacuate, a decision-maker must weigh often highly uncertain and contradictory information about the future path and intensity of the storm. To effectively plan to help people during a hurricane, it is crucial to be able to predict

Evacuation Model in Large Complex Buildings
2020Adaptive evacuation model and optimization model based on social forces provide a better evacuation plan for large crowded buildings to achieve evacuation in the shortest time possible. In particular, the model can adjust the evacuation plan according to the real-time evacuation information.

The Effect of Pre-evacuation on Evacuation Times in the Simulex Model
Journal of Fire Protection Engineering, 2004The evacuation time of a building in an emergency can be broken down into a number of constituent times including the pre-evacuation time and the travel time. This paper examines how distributions of pre-evacuation times affect the occupant travel time and hence their effect on the evacuation time in the Simulex model.

An inexact optimization model for evacuation planning
Kybernetes, 2009Summary: The purpose of this paper is to develop an interval method for vehicle allocation and route planning in case of an evacuation. First, the evacuation route planning system is described and the notations are defined. An inexact programming model is proposed.

Agent-Based Approach in Evacuation Modeling
2010The article presents an agent-based approach to modeling of pedestrian evacuation. It includes some theoretical aspect of using the agents techniques as well as case study of evacuation tests realized by the authors. Results from real data gained from experiments are compared with data from designed simulations.
