  1. 1. Teachers’ Perception of Factors Delaying Evacuation of School Children

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Rikard Mobratt; [2023]
    Keywords : Evacuation; School children; Fire drill; Fire emergency evacuation; Elementary school; Teachers; Questionnaire Utrymning; Skolbarn; Utrymningsövning; Brandutrymning; Grundskola; Lärare; Enkät; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to study teachers’ perception of children’s ability to evacuate, thus learning about children’s evacuation behavior. Questions of interest are teachers’ perception of children’s ability to evacuate, their behavior, if there are any misconceptions in the teachers’ perception and how fire evacuation drills influence the teachers’ perceptions.

  3. 2. Evaluating impact of table layout in classroom evacuation with crowd simulation

    University essay from KTH/Datavetenskap

    Author : Alexander Gustavsson; Sanjin Redzepagic; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : With the rise of hazardous events in classroom and school settings, the need for efficient and safe evacuation planning has never been more vital. Relying on intuition to draw conclusions, while often well intended, can do more harm than good. READ MORE

  4. 3. Visibility in Smoke With Different Extinction Coefficients

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Lea Elhokayem; [2022]
    Keywords : Visibility; smoke; exit sign; extinction coefficient; visibility constant; evacuation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Visibility in smoke has since the 1970s gained some attention, mostly after Tadahisa Jin ran the experiments which helped him develop todays widely used visibility equation. By showing that visibility can be assumed to be inversely proportional to the extinction coefficient by a visibility constant (equal to 8 for light emitting sign and 3 for light reflecting), Jin opened up new doors for researchers who were testing out his theory by going around experimenting in different ways and also by showing that there is way for more research to be done.

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. Pedestrian trajectories on a 90° turn in a corridor: A non-immersive virtual reality study.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Leidy Marcela Correa; [2021]
    Keywords : Virtual Reality; Social Influence; Trajectories; Evacuation; Corridors.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : When an emergency occurs, bottlenecks can emerge at the corners of corridors. Therefore, it is essential to understand how people move through complex geometries during evacuation to improve architectural designs. READ MORE
