Evacuation Simulation Model for Large Hotel Based on GIS

Article Preview

Abstract:

To meet the requirements of emergency evacuation in a large hotel, this paper introduces design and implementation of emergency evacuation simulation model for a large hotel based on GIS in detail. Firstly, the design of the simulation model is introduced in the paper. Four-tier framework of the model is composed of user layer, application layer, underlying support layer and data layer. Secondly, the key technologies of the model are emphasized. The spatial analysis and attribute data analysis of GIS are used to determine evacuation zone of emergencies and disasters in a large hotel and achieve the optimal emergency evacuation plan for crowd. Finally, test results showed the model improves the simulation precision and can provide effective service for emergency evacuation in a large hotel.
