Emergency Evacuation from a Multi-Room Compartment

Abstract:

An extensive cellular automaton (CA) model is proposed to simulate the evacuation from a large multi-room compartment. To determine the movement direction, it is assumed that two factors, viz. spatial distance and occupant density, are considered by each occupant. To conduct more reasonable simulation, psychological inertia of human beings is also taken into account in modeling. Numerical results show that the proposed CA model is robust and the model can be applied in the assessment of fire safety.
