  1. 21. Impact of Lecture Hall Layout on Evacuations Using Crowd Simulations

    University essay from KTH/Datavetenskap

    Author : Tobias Mattsson; Ernest Umeh; [2022]
    Keywords : Lecture hall; Evacuation; Simulation; Evacuation rate; Layout variation; Föreläsningssal; Evakuering; Simulation; Evakueringstakt; Layoutvariationer;

    Abstract : The planning and preparation phases of emergency management are of great social interest. If appropriate safety measures can be implemented in buildings beforehand as a response to foreseeable hazards, the safety of individuals can be significantly increased. READ MORE

  3. 22. Simulating Effects of Agent Velocity Changes on Crowd Behavior During Fire Emergency Evacuations

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Charlie Mårtensson; Jacob Brännström; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Fire emergencies are both deadly and difficult to accurately model in real life. Computer-simulated crowds provide a way to observe the possible outcome of a fire emergency evacuation without endangering real human subjects. READ MORE

  4. 23. 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

  5. 24. Simulation of standing versus crawling during evacuation from a smoke-filled room

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : David Bergendorff; Jonas Lundin; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Crawling is often the recommended method when evacuating from a burning room. In this study, an agent based crowd simulation in combination with a fire dynamics simulator is used in order to compare how well crawling evacuation compares to a standing type of evacuation. READ MORE

  6. 25. The impact of noice pollution and vibrations on nearby buildings : How is the school Kulturama affected by noise and vibrations from the 'nya tunnelbana' project?

    University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

    Author : Hadil Jawad; Aren Nabatyan; [2021]
    Keywords : Noice pollution; vibrations; metro; nya tunnelbana project; noice absorbents; Buller; vibrationer; stomljud; luftburet ljud; nya tunnelbana projekt; absorbenter;

    Abstract : To meet the needs of the growing city of Stockholm, a large-scale project to expand the subway has been initiated. The tunneling involved in the project causes several disturbances, in terms of vibration and noise pollution, on the surroundings. This is problematic as vibration and noise pollution has been shown to have a negative health impact. READ MORE
