  1. 21. Validation of WUI-NITY compared to real-world data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Jonatan Edenvik; [2022]
    Keywords : Wildland urban interface; Wildfires; Community evacuation; Real-world simulation; WUI-NITY; PeMS; Pedestrian simulation; Traffic simulation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis compares the wildfire evacuation simulation programme, WUI-NITY, against real-world data by analysing and comparing three wildfire events of the past. The wildfire events were all limited to be within the state of California and was further analysed based on the available quality of data derived of the chosen database. READ MORE

  3. 22. Testing macroscopic traffic evacuation models for wildland-urban interface fires

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Adam Ardinge; [2021]
    Keywords : WUI-NITY; WUI; V V; traffic evacuation; WUI fire evacuation; simulation model; verification testing; validation testing; Kincade; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the verification and validation testing performed on the evacuation simulation platform WUI-NITY which has the aim of being a simulation tool for the integration of different layers, such as pedestrian, traffic and wildfire with evolving dynamic interactions. The present thesis aims at applying a set of verification tests and validation testing suitable for WUI-NITY with a focus on the traffic component. READ MORE

  4. 23. Synthetic Data for Training and Evaluation of Critical Traffic Scenarios

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Medie- och Informationsteknik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Sofie Collin; [2021]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Autonomous Driving; Synthetic Data; Critical Traffic Scenarios; Pedestrian Detection; Image Processing;

    Abstract : Modern camera-based vehicle safety systems heavily rely on machine learning and consequently require large amounts of training data to perform reliably. However, collecting and annotating the needed data is an extremely expensive and time-consuming process. In addition, it is exceptionally difficult to collect data that covers critical scenarios.

  5. 24. Requirements for Modelling WUI Fire Evacuation by Unconventional Means

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Rona Tyler; [2021]
    Keywords : WUI fire; evacuation modelling; wildfire; evacuation; traffic modelling; pedestrian modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Wildfires pose a significant safety issue, especially when they interact with urban areas, known as wildland urban interface (WUI) fires. As wildfire numbers are rising and developments near wildlands are increasing, there is an increased need to model all types of evacuation in order to prepare and inform evacuating authorities and evacuees.

  6. 25. Pedestrian trajectories on a 90° turn in a corridor: A non-immersive virtual reality study.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Leidy Marcela Correa; [2021]
    Keywords : Virtual Reality; Social Influence; Trajectories; Evacuation; Corridors.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : When an emergency occurs, bottlenecks can emerge at the corners of corridors. Therefore, it is essential to understand how people move through complex geometries during evacuation to improve architectural designs. READ MORE
