Study on Emergency Evacuation Ability of Exits in Public Assembly Places

Article Preview

Abstract:

The state of pedestrian flow was observed for public assembly place exit. The basic parameter data of evacuation simulation obtained from the experiment. A compared result of evacuation experiment of special scene and evacuation simulation revised model parameters. Revised model simulated pedestrian evacuation was carried out in typical public assembly place. Research results of this paper provide scientific basis for exit design, risk analysis and emergency management.
