The paper presents a simulation–optimization modeling framework for the evacuation of large-scale pedestrian facilities …–assignment model. The GA searches for the optimal evacuation plan, while the simulation model guides the search through evaluating the … quality of the generated evacuation plans. Evacuees are assumed to receive evacuation instructions in terms of the optimal …

It is necessary for China to establish a feasible method to verify whether an emergency evacuation plan (EEP) provides … timely evacuation under the threat of flooding as a result of dam failure. Based on simulating the inundation area resulting … estimating the evacuation clearance times. Differences between urban and rural areas are considered, and two transportation modes …

The evacuation process of students from a dormitory is investigated by both experiment and modeling. We investigate the … video record of pedestrian movement in a dormitory, and find some typical characteristics of evacuation, including … the evacuation process and compare the simulation results with the experimental results, and find that they agree with …
