summary |
Nowadays, many buildings need to accommodate large numbers and/or large concentrations of people. Despite the efforts to produce building designs that can safely evacuate occupants, accidents continue to happen with dramatic consequences. This happens, in part, because of the difficulty in anticipating the consequences of design decisions regarding building's evacuation performance. In order to improve the situation, one needs to resort to evacuation simulation tools. These, however, have two problems: (1) they require analytic building models that are difficult to produce manually, and (2) they tend to focus on evacuations under non-emergency conditions, where panic phenomena is not present. In this paper, we propose a combination between algorithmic design and different evacuation simulators that allows for the quick simulation of many design variations. |
