6. Verification Testing of Evacuationz, a Coarse Network Evacuation Model
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikAbstract : Several evacuation models exist in the market. It is an issue for both the user and developer to evaluate the ease of use and the quality of the model results. Verification is the process of determining that the results of a calculation method match with the developer's conceptual modelling representation expectations, i.e. READ MORE

7. Testing macroscopic traffic evacuation models for wildland-urban interface fires
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikAbstract : 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

8. A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TRAVELLING FIRE IN LARGE SPACES WITH MULTI-ZONE FIRE MODEL AND FDS
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikAbstract : A knowledge of far field temperatures is valuable for Performance Based Design structural analysis and life safety analysis, where a parametric study is needed. A fire model using multiple zones called a multi zone (MZ) fire model has in previous studies shown good potential as an analytical tool for predicting far field temperatures in large compartments.

9. Requirements for Modelling WUI Fire Evacuation by Unconventional Means
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikAbstract : 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.

10. Testing the wildland urban interface fire evacuation tool WUI-NITY: A case study of a rural community
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikAbstract : This thesis makes use of a freely available platform based on multi-physics simulations, named WUI-NITY, to model WUI fire evacuation. This simulation platform includes three sub-models addressing fire spread, pedestrian movement and traffic movement allowing the representation of their interaction to produce outputs useful for dynamic vulnerability assessment.
