Optimized guidance for building fires considering occupants’ route choices

چکیده
Occupants in building fires usually have difficulties to evacuate safely, and providing guidance may help them select proper routes. However, groups of occupants not follow because they make their own decisions are affected by psychological factors. Their reactions should therefore be considered an emergency system. Most existing studies assumed that would guidance, congestions might occur if suggested routes were used. To consider occupants’ route choices, the random utility theory is employed characterize optimized a leader–follower? (Stackelberg) game framework this paper. partially validate effect determine related parameters factors, data from virtual reality (VR) experiments analyzed, where human participants recruited probabilistic choices analyzed. Using derived VR experiments, numerical simulation results demonstrate effective terms overall risk evacuation times alleviated. A sensitivity analysis also performed assess impacts different factors on evacuations.

A new method for estimating the effects of thermal radiation from fires on building occupants
A new model for estimating the effects of high thermal radiation heat fluxes on occupants has been developed. This model allows the user to specify the type of clothing worn by typical occupants (e.g., street clothing or protective clothing), percentage of body covered by clothing, and occupant characteristics (e.g., age). Numerical models of heat transfer in fabrics and skin are used to estima...
متن کاملSAVES: a sustainable multiagent application to conserve building energy considering occupants
This paper describes an innovative multiagent system called SAVES with the goal of conserving energy in commercial buildings. We specifically focus on an application to be deployed in an existing university building that provides several key novelties: (i) jointly performed with the university facility management team, SAVES is based on actual occupant preferences and schedules, actual energy c...
متن کاملInvestigating Characteristics of Hospital Building Fires in Iran
Background: Building fires are the most common threatening and distressing hazard in hospitals. Fire is one of the top 10 hazards that threaten Iranian hospitals. Nevertheless, no study has been done on the features of fires in Iran hospitals. So, this study aimed to investigate the characteristics of fires taking place in Iranian hospitals. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional stu...
