1. 1. 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

3. 2. The Analysis of Results of Stochastic Evacuation Models

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Erik Smedberg; [2019]
   Keywords : Evacuation; Fire safety; Behavioural uncertainty; Evacuation modelling; Evacuation simulation; Pathfinder; Functional analysis; Egress.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : All humans are unique, we have different characteristics and we make different decision. This is a challenge when it comes to modelling human behaviour. The models we design are based on mathematics where there is no room for inconsistencies such that are present in human behaviour. READ MORE

4. 3. WAY-FINDING AND CROWD MANAGEMENT IN SHOPPING MALL EVACUATION: A modelling case study of Emporia Mall in Malmö

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Ogun Ozalp; [2016]
   Keywords : Evacuation modelling; egress modelling; way-finding; crowd management.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : WAY-FINDING AND CROWD MANAGEMENT IN SHOPPING MALL EVACUATION-A modelling case study of Emporia Mall in Malmö Evacuation time can be reduced by successful crowd management techniques and efficient evacuation strategies. It is possible to use evacuation models for analysing egress strategies and evacuation procedures in shopping malls. READ MORE

5. 4. Verification and Validation of Viswalk for Building Evacuation Modelling

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Johan Henningsson; Johan Blomstrand Martén; [2015]
   Keywords : Viswalk; evacuation model; egress model; verification; validation; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This thesis is evaluating the pedestrian modelling software Viswalk for the use as a building evacuation model, by verifying and validating the model. In the verification, a procedure from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is used as a basis to assess Viswalk’s ability to represent pre-evacuation time, movement and navigation, exit usage, route availability and flow constraints.

6. 5. Modelling the impact of sky-bridges on total evacuation for high-rise buildings

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Egzon Haliti; [2015]
   Keywords : Sky-bridges; stairs; total evacuation; evacuation model; Pathfinder; egress; congestion; merging flow; high-rise buildings; tall buildings; human behaviour; risk perception; trappor; samtidig utrymning; utrymningsmodell; utrymning; trängsel; samgående flöden; höga byggnader; människors beteende; riskperception; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study examines the impact of sky-bridges, as an egress component, on total evacuation of a high-rise building by using an evacuation model named Pathfinder. Five scenarios, with different combination of aspects such as height of the building, number of sky-bridges (and the subsequent inter-distance between them), and people allocation have been simulated.
