  1. 6. 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. 7. 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. 8. 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

  5. 9. The Impact of Social Distancing on Evacuations using Crowd Simulations

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

    Author : Emrik Hydén; [2021]
    Keywords : Crowd; evacuation; simulation; social distance; COVID19; Folkmassa; evakuering; simulering; social distansering; COVID19;

    Abstract : During pandemics such as the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID19), some government agencies might recommend that citizens keep distance to other people when moving in public environments; this distance is often referred to as social distancing. Since social distancing limits how people are allowed to move in an environment, it could prove to become an obstacle during situations such as evacuations. READ MORE

  6. 10. The Diminishing Returns of Adding Exits in Crowd Evacuation Simulations

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

    Author : Karl Brunnberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Crowd simulations; evacuation simulations; exits; exit layout; diminishing returns; Simulering av folkmassor; simulering av evakueringar; utgångar; utgångslayout; avtagande avkastning;

    Abstract : A commonly researched problem in computer science considers the different parameters of an evacuation simulation and how they affect evacuation times. Parameters like room size, obstacles and exit layouts have proven to have an impact on evacuation times. READ MORE
