We assess the usability of public inquiry report data to build a formal trace that can be used in later stages to create an agent model simulating crisis response coordination. The case taken is a train tunnel fire near the underground train station at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol that turned out to be harmless, but the incident illustrated key weaknesses in inter-organizational coordination caus...

The correct and quick evacuation of occupants is very important for the save of lives in a public building when it is attacked by a fire. However, it is difficult to train the occupants for evacuation in a real environment since it is dangerous and expensive. This paper presents a virtual reality system developed by the authors for the simulation of occupant evacuation in an underground station...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate factors associated with chronic pain in survivors of a large fire, including those with and without burn injury. METHODS This study employed a survey-based cross-sectional design to evaluate data from survivors of The Station nightclub fire. The primary outcome measure was the presence and severity of pain. Multiple linear regressions with a...

BACKGROUND Surveying survivors from a large fire provides an opportunity to explore the impact of emotional trauma on psychological outcomes. METHODS This is a cross-sectional survey of survivors of The Station Fire. Primary outcomes were post-traumatic stress (Impact of Event Scale - Revised) and depressive (Beck Depression Inventory) symptoms. Linear regression was used to examine differenc...

A typical application field of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is the collection of environmental data, which is sent to a base station. Routing protocols are needed to efficiently direct the information flows to the base station. Since sensor nodes have strict energy constraints, data gathering and communication schemes for WSNs need to be designed for an efficient utilization of the available...

Wildfire ignitions are caused by lightning or a variety of human-related activities. While lightning is the most prevalent ignition source across much of the western United States, human-caused ignitions start the majority of fires in the South and nationwide. The frequency of natural and human-caused wildfires varies significantly according to different biophysical, social, and fire management...

Undoubtedly, great environmental damage especially in forests due to wild fire expansion has been occurred lately which has for result the deterioration of the human quality of life. For this reason an urgent need for environmental protection and preservation has been raised in the last years. This paper, presents a new approach dedicated to forest fire detection and based on wireless sensor ne...

article utilizes CFD software to investigate the smoke control system of the safety reliability for the underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system. The purpose of this research is to simulate the fire occurring in the tunnel region where the smoke control system designs are corresponding to the National Federation of Paralegal Associations 130 (NFPA130). The smoke control mode of the tunnel in...
