An Evacuation Simulation Model (esm) for Building Evaluation

This study tries to develop an Evacuation Simulation Model (ESM) by which the architecture plans for egress routes can be compared at normal condition evacuation or emergency evacuation with static (fixed blockage of selected target spaces, e.g. earthquake; bomb) or dynamic (timed blocked of target spaces, e.g. fire) blocking. ESM can be used to identify the potential risk of the egress routes in the building evaluated and then some fire protection measures can be produced. It can also compare the evacuation performance for buildings, which include ones that meet the codes and those that do not. ESM can identify the potential risk of the egress paths in the building evaluated and then some fire protection measures can be produced.
