Study on Simulation of Evacuation Behavior to a Crowd in Public Buildings

Abstract:

Generally traditional research methods to crowd evacuation depend on experiences and hand calculation, but the errors of these methods are clear. So computer simulation methods have become popular all over the world. The paper studied crowd evacuation behaviors by building EXODUS developed by University of Greenwich. Evacuation time and behaviors were simulated and some differences were compared with the results by hand and experiences, which can give theoretic and methodological guides to crowd management, crowd facilities design, evacuation analysis in buildings, establishment of emergency preplanning and so on.
