  1. 1. Moving in the dark : Mathematics of complex pedestrian flows

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Meghashyam Veluvali; [2023]
    Keywords : Mathematical modelling of pedestrian dynamics; stochastic systems; evacuation time; random walk method; parabolic equation; finite difference method;

    Abstract : The field of mathematical modelling for pedestrian dynamics has attracted significant scientific attention, with various models proposed from perspectives such as kinetic theory, statistical mechanics, game theory and partial differential equations. Often such investigations are seen as being a part of a new branch of study in the domain of applied physics, called sociophysics. READ MORE

  3. 2. Integrating Fire Evacuation into the Building Information Modelling Workflow

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Nazim Yakhou; [2022]
    Keywords : Fire Safety Engineering; Building Information Modelling; Fire Evacuation; Performance Based Design; Golden Thread of Information; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Building Information Modelling (BIM) is arising gradually as a useful methodology in the AEC field. One of the many benefits of BIM is coordination between stakeholders from multiple disciplines. However, the field of Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) is relatively lagging by its lack of integration into this digital workflow. READ MORE

  4. 3. The Application of a Wildfire Evacuation Tool to Swedish locations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Johannes Jovlunden; [2022]
    Keywords : Wildfire evacuations; evacuation simulation; wildfire simulation; WUI-NITY; FARSITE; Prometheus; Swedish wildfire evacuations; geo-spatial data; computer modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : WUI-NITY is a computer modelling program for wildfire evacuation simulations. This thesis examines the applicability of WUI-NITY to locations in Sweden. The program was tested at example locations representing the Swedish landscape. READ MORE

  5. 4. The Development of A Simple Engineering Calculation Method for Wildfire Scenarios

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Muthia Khairunisa Jaelani; [2022]
    Keywords : Wildfire; evacuation; WUI fire; evacuation modelling; traffic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Emergency planning is required to respond to the increasing wildfire threat. A part of this is to assess a community’s capacity to move to a safe place during wildfires. This can be achieved by calculating the time it takes for a community to evacuate from an at-risk area to a relatively safe place. READ MORE

  6. 5. Mescape - A probabilistic mesoscopic model for fire evacuation in large gatherings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Lorenzo Contini; [2022]
    Keywords : Human behaviour; crowd evacuation; mesoscopic modelling; hydraulic model; large gatherings; fire safety; performance-based design; quantitative risk assessment; consequence analysis; uncertainty analysis; probabilistic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study presents a mesoscopic model that predicts pedestrian evacuation in large gatherings with probabilistic methods. The model is based on a coarse network representation of buildings, where occupants are treated at a different scale according to their location. READ MORE
