Evacuation Simulation to a Library Room of a University Based on Computer Software Building EXODUS

Article Preview

Abstract:

Panic is a typical psychological characteristic of crowd in a fire, which can cause serious casualties. By discussing psychology and behavior of crowd in panic, the paper analyzes behavior of crowd evacuation, and utilizes Building EXODUS to simulate crowd behaviors to a library room of a university. Some instructional conclusions are got, which can give theoretic and methodological guides to crowd management, crowd facilities design, evacuation analysis in buildings, establishment of emergency preplanning and so on.
