  1. 1. Testing the wildland urban interface fire evacuation tool WUI-NITY: A case study of a rural community

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Afroza Mallick; [2021]
    Keywords : WUI-NITY; fire evacuation tool; evacuation; wildland-urban interface.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : 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.
