Evacuation Model of Emotional Contagion Crowd Based on Cellular Automata

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2021
Crowd evacuation under emergency is an important task of world public security research and practice. In order to describe the microemotional contagion of evacuation individuals, a cellular automata-based evacuation model of emotional contagion crowd ...

Trial evacuation of an industrial premises and evacuation model comparison [PDF]

open access: yesFire Safety Journal, 2007
This paper describes a trial evacuation from an industrial premises and compares the results with two evacuation modelling programs. In the trial evacuation it was found that most people appeared to respond immediately to the alarm however a small proportion of the occupants exhibited significant delays in leaving the premises.

Tsunami evacuation plans for future megathrust earthquakes in Padang, Indonesia, considering stochastic earthquake scenarios [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2017
This study develops tsunami evacuation plans in Padang, Indonesia, using a stochastic tsunami simulation method. The stochastic results are based on multiple earthquake scenarios for different magnitudes (Mw 8.5, 8.75, and 9.0) that reflect asperity ...

Macroscopic modeling and simulations of room evacuation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We analyze numerically two macroscopic models of crowd dynamics: the classical Hughes model and the second order model being an extension to pedestrian motion of the Payne-Whitham vehicular traffic model.

Evacuation Simulation under Threat of Wildfire—An Overview of Research, Development, and Knowledge Gaps

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Wildfires have become a common incident over the past decades, and they have been threatening people’s lives and assets. In the communities close to wildlands or wildland–urban interfaces (WUI), these threats become increasingly serious, and in case of ...

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

Variable population exposure and distributed travel speeds in least-cost tsunami evacuation modelling [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014
Evacuation of the population from a tsunami hazard zone is vital to reduce life-loss due to inundation. Geospatial least-cost distance modelling provides one approach to assessing tsunami evacuation potential.
