Comparison of the Evacuation Softwares in the Applications of the Railway Station

Abstract:

With more and more railway stations constructed as well as the development of rail transportation system, the safety of the occupants in railway station has drawn people's attention. This paper adopts FDS+Evac and buildingEXODUS to simulate the evacuation of Hefei south railway station, By comparing the results produced by the two softwares and analyzing the individual characters of the two softwares, we get that the evacuation time of the two simulations produced by the two softwares are very close, while occupants' selection of exits, number of occupants through the same exits and the evacuation routes in the two simulations are different. Besides, buildingEXODUS can save more computation sources and time and is easier and convenient to debug.What's more, the place and the time of the congestion exist in the two simulations are also different.
