Optimization and Planning of Emergency Evacuation Routes Considering Traffic Control
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Emergencies, especially major ones, happen fast, randomly, as well as unpredictably, and generally will bring great harm to people’s life and the economy. Therefore, governments and lots of professionals devote themselves to taking effective measures and

A Review of Models that Take into Account the Effects of Emotional Contagion During Evacuation
Safety & Fire Technology, 2019 Aim: A number of programs are available on the market to estimate individual parameters of the evacuation process. Starting from the estimated time of evacuation from the building, to the distribution of the use of individual evacuation routes, to the ...

Modelling Bushfire Evacuation Behaviours
CoRR, 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

Design of evacuation plans for densely urbanised city centres [PDF]
, 2016 The high population density and tightly packed nature of some city centres make emergency planning for these urban spaces especially important, given the potential for human loss in case of disaster. Historic and recent events have made emergency service

Emergency evacuation of people with disabilities: A survey of drills, simulations, and accessibility
Cogent Engineering, 2018 A natural or man-made disaster may destabilize the structure of a building and endanger the lives of its occupants. Evacuating occupants in the shortest possible time is the first reaction in such situations, often referred to as indoor emergency ...

Evacuation modeling: a case study on linear and nonlinear network flow models
EURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2016 We present a nonlinear traffic flow network model that is coupled to gaseous hazard information for evacuation planning. This model is evaluated numerically against a linear network flow model for different objective functions that are relevant for ...

Group dynamic behavior and psychometric profiles as substantial driver for pedestrian dynamics
, 2012 Our current research lays emphasis on the extended pedestrian perception and copes with both the dynamic group behavior and the individual evaluation of situations, and hence, rather focuses on the tactical level of movement behavior.

The MATSim Network Flow Model for Traffic Simulation Adapted to Large-Scale Emergency Egress and an Application to the Evacuation of the Indonesian City of Padang in Case of a Tsunami Warning [PDF]
, 2009 The evacuation of whole cities or even regions is an important problem, as demonstrated by recent events such as evacuation of Houston in the case of Hurricane Rita or the evacuation of coastal cities in the case of Tsunamis.
