Crowd Evacuation Simulation Based on WebGIS

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to improve the efficiency of people evacuation from hazardous regions and reduce the ill effects of disasters, a distributed decision support system for large scale crowd evacuation is proposed. The system is supported by the technology of Web Geographic Information System (WebGIS). Basically, by analyzing the system framework we may acquire a novel approach to establish a distributed large-scale crowd evacuation platform for emergency management. Research results show that the proposed system is useful for devising evacuation plans in advance as well as real-time management under disaster.
