1. 11. The verification and validation of a probabilistic risk analysis method for road tunnels

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Kim Genberg; Karin Sandin; [2020]
   Keywords : Tunnels; fire; evacuation; probabilistic risk analysis; QRA; verification and validation; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In this thesis, a new probabilistic risk assessment tool for road tunnels has been verified and validated. The verification and validation were performed along with a literature review to find different key variables that affect the risk in a road tunnel and find out how these variables can be handled.

3. 12. Crowd evacuation in high-density scenarios

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Ines Cilenti; [2019]
   Keywords : Crowd evacuation; high-density; crowd pressure; video analysis; bottleneck; outdoor event; local density.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Nowadays, is becoming increasingly frequent holding events in outdoor environments, involving a large number of people, even though these spaces were not designed from a safe prospective, in the way that safety is defined today. In such events, high density conditions is an ongoing issue, as the evacuation becomes very complex, due to the space design and the interaction among the pedestrians. READ MORE

4. 13. 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

5. 14. A Modelling Study on the Impact of Luggage and Airworthiness Certification on Aircraft Evacuation

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Alexander Johansson; [2019]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Real-life aircraft evacuation drills can cost up to 2 million USD and may not at the same time be able to represent a real emergency scenario. with the use of evacuation models as a complement to the testing may reduce this cost. READ MORE

6. 15. The Impact of Elevator Usage and Zoning on High-Rise Building Evacuation

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Miqdad Kilpady; [2019]
   Keywords : Elevator; waiting time; elevator zoning; total evacuation time; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : For decades, the use of elevators has been prohibited during emergencies but with the ever-increasing heights of the buildings, safe and timely vertical evacuation by the conventional means of stairs seems more and more of a challenge. With the recent push for a better understanding of the pros and cons of use of elevators for evacuation by various concerned parties, it is imperative that there is a better understanding of the performance, advantages and risks involved with this evacuation strategy.
