Evacuation dynamics: a modeling and visualization framework
OR Spectrum, 2019Evacuation mock drills are critical to emergency preparedness and to stress test the infrastructure capacity. Even though drills are expensive in terms of the involved resources, recognizing critical points of the infrastructure can guide decisions to improve the dynamics during a real evacuation, resulting in saving lives.

Evacuation Timing Computations Using Different Evacuation Models
2011In New Zealand, a new method of specific design, Verification Method 2 (C/VM2) has been proposed to be used for fire safety compliance. Previous researchers have investigated different fire parameters and their applications. However, there is a lack of research effort in evacuation calculations and in this research the author uses three different types

Validation and Calibration of the EXIT89 Evacuation Model for Road Tunnel Evacuation Applications
2013The validation of an evacuation model is generally performed through testing its predictive capabilities within a set of standard environments (e.g. buildings) or standard layouts. Unfortunately, non-expert users could consider model results as reliable in unique environments as well, such as road tunnels, and extend their use to applications where no ...

The Modeling of Path Planning for Fire Evacuation
2019Based on the sensing network to implement the fire emergency escape path planning. Unlike other planning methods, this paper uses grid technology to consider factors such as the impact of crowd density on travel time, smoke diffusion, and the upper limit of space/aisle accommodation. At the time of the fire, the evacuation path planning problem at each

EVACUATION MODEL FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES IN HIGHWAYS
International Journal of Modern Physics C, 2009In this paper, we propose a cellular automaton model for the evacuation of an emergency vehicle (EV) in highways. To facilitate the evacuation of the EV, some additional lane-changing rules (pull over of ordinary vehicles) are introduced in a two-lane cellular automata model for traffic flow in highway.
