Multi-Agent Simulation on Staff Evacuation Behavior in Elderly Nursing Home Fire Emergencies

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
Elderly nursing homes in South Korea are vulnerable to evacuation in emergency situations such as fires. There are many elderly residents with reduced self-walking ability, so if a disaster such as a fire occurs, it is very likely to lead to a large ...

Reasoning about crowd evacuations as emergent phenomena when using participatory computational models

open access: yesFrontiers in Education, 2023
How do students apply systems thinking to make sense of a computational model of crowd evacuation? We developed a participatory simulation in which users play the role of evacuees that move through a narrow passageway.

A Hybrid Model for Simulating Crowd Evacuation [PDF]

open access: yesNew Generation Computing, 2013
Macroscopic and microscopic models are typical approaches for simulating crowd behaviour and movement to simulate crowd and pedestrian movement, respectively. However, the two models are unlikely to address the issues beyond their modelling targets (i.e., pedestrian movement for microscopic models and crowd movement for macroscopic models). In order to

A simulation-based optimization method for emergency evacuation induced by gas pipeline leakage risk

open access: yesFACETS, 2023
Long-distance gas pipelines with large diameter and high pressure, on which a leakage induces gas diffusion or fire explosion, may result in major influence to nearby buildings and residents.

Integration of Emotion in Evacuation Simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Computer simulation is a powerful tool for planning real evacuation scenarios during a crisis. In such context, emotion is a major factor that influences human decision making process and behavior. In this paper, we present our multi-agent simulation through the mathematical formalization of its main components: emotion and its dynamics, an heuristics ...

Optimization of Shelter Location Based on a Combined Static/Dynamic Two-Stage Optimization Methodology: A Case Study in the Central Urban Area of Xinyi City, China

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2022
Determining how to reasonably allocate shelters in the central area of the city and improve evacuation efficiency are important issues in the field of urban disaster prevention.

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]

open access: yes, 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.

Simulation Analysis of Army Casualty Evacuations [PDF]

open access: yesSIMULATION, 2002
Since war games and field exercises are very expensive, mathematical models are often developed to analyze military systems. In this study, the authors investigate a brigade casualty evacuation system (BCES) via simulation. Specifically, they model the existing BCES of the Turkish Army and analyze the system to improve the patient flow processes in ...

Passenger evacuation simulation considering the heeling angle change during sinking

open access: yesInternational Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2019
In order to simulate the evacuation simulation of a ship during a sinking, the slope angle change of the ship must be reflected during the simulation. In this study, the passenger evacuation simulation is implemented by continuously applying the heeling ...
