Research and realization of parallel algorithms for large scale crowd evacuation in emergency

Xiaoting Cui et al.

Summary: Based on a triangular meshing cellular automata evacuation model, a CPU-based parallel algorithm is applied to improve the efficiency of the evacuation simulation algorithm. Experimental results show that the cellular automata model performs better in high-density and high-traffic scenarios, achieving an acceleration ratio of 300% without congestion. The scalability of the parallel algorithm allows for handling large-scale scenarios and providing real-time monitoring and evacuation simulation plans.

Using Fire Dynamics Simulator to reconstruct a fire scene in a hospital-based long-term care facility

Yi-Hao Huang

Summary: This study reconstructed and analyzed a fire incident in a long-term care facility in Taiwan using computational fluid dynamics and the Fire Dynamics Simulator software tool. The study found that if partition walls were not fully connected or lacked fire protection stuffing, smoke would spread through these channels, with the assistance of the self-contained air-conditioning units. Thick smoke entered rooms from above the decorative ceiling and was absorbed by the air-conditioning units before being channeled to other rooms, making evacuation challenging. Based on the analysis of the fire and smoke flow, the study recommended an emergency egress time of 179 seconds after fire occurrence.

Path planning for guided passengers during evacuation in subway station based on multi-objective optimization

Xiaoxia Yang et al.

Summary: Reasonable guide settings can directly improve the evacuation capacity in subway stations, with guide assignment schemes and evacuation path planning playing an important role. The use of Gaussian mixture model and cost function method for guide allocation, as well as the implementation of a multi-objective optimization model with NSGA-II method, has been shown to significantly enhance the efficiency of evacuation in subway stations.

Investigating Pedestrians' Exit Choice with Incident Location Awareness in an Emergency in a Multi-Level Shopping Complex

Kayvan Aghabayk et al.

Summary: Limited studies have investigated pedestrians' exit choices in an emergency in multi-level commercial buildings. This paper aims to address these knowledge gaps by investigating pedestrians' exit choice behavior in an emergency at a multi-level shopping complex considering exit choice behavior before and after awareness of incident location and the influence of personal attributes (e.g., presence of a child or companion). The results show differences in pedestrian decisions to evacuate and select the exit when the fire location information was available compared to when only emergency alarm information was available, and participants with children were more concerned about the ease of moving on the route.

Experimental study of the walking behavior of crowds mixed with slow-speed pedestrians as an introductory study of elderly-mixed evacuation crowds

Yoshikazu Minegishi

Summary: This research explores the characteristics of slow-speed pedestrians mixed into an evacuation crowd, finding that the presence of slow-speed pedestrians can decrease the overall flow rate on the path. The behavior of pedestrians passing slow-speed pedestrians is strongly influenced by pedestrian density and the percentage of slow-speed pedestrians.

Optimized guidance for building fires considering occupants' route choices

X. Lu et al.

Summary: Occupants in building fires often face difficulties evacuating safely, and providing guidance can assist them in choosing proper escape routes. This study demonstrates that optimized guidance is effective in alleviating congestion and improving evacuation efficiency, while also conducting a sensitivity analysis on the different impacts of psychological factors.

Investigation on the impact of walkways slope and pedestrians physical characteristics on pedestrians normal walking and jogging speeds

Kayvan Aghabayk et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of walkway slope on pedestrian speed, finding that jogging speed decreases significantly on steep downhill compared to level terrain. The speed difference between males and females is higher during jogging than normal walking, and the difference in speed between elderly and young pedestrians during jogging is almost twice that of normal walking. Additionally, body mass index significantly affects walking or jogging speed, with jogging speed decreasing faster with an increase in BMI.

Development of an evacuation model considering the impact of stress variation on evacuees under fire emergency

Rui Feng Cao et al.

Summary: This study highlights the impact of stress on evacuees' behavior and overall evacuation characteristics during fire emergencies. A proposed evacuation model numerically determines evacuees' stress levels based on their specific environment, providing insight into crowd evacuation dynamics and stress variation effects. This model offers a new perspective on understanding evacuation processes and the role of stress factor in emergency situations.
