  1. 1. The effects of fatigue during deep metro evacuations and its implications on evacuation modelling tools

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Alejandra Velasco; [2018]
    Keywords : stair-ascent evacuation; stair evacuation modelling; stairs; physiology; fire safety engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The thesis purpose is to determine how people’s evacuation performance is affected by carrying weight while performing a stair-climbing motion. The fire safety engineering and physiology fields are merged to increase the knowledge regarding ascending evacuation. READ MORE

  3. 2. A study on how to improve the mass evacuation at sea with the use of survival crafts

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Martin Pospolicki; [2017]
    Keywords : Evacuation; safety; passenger; ship; ferry; sea; survival craft; lifeboat; liferaft; SOLAS regulations; maritime; improvement; issues; problems; Norman Atlantic; Sorrento; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The development of maritime safety is often triggered by accidents. The purpose of this study is to learn how mass evacuation with survival crafts can be improved at sea, by reviewing the publicly available information from some of the most recent accidents. READ MORE

  4. 3. Mass evacuation - human behavior and crowd dynamics - What do we know?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Markus Friberg; Michael Hjelm; [2015]
    Keywords : Turbulence; stop-and-go waves; bottleneck; crowd crush; crowd disaster; sports ground; stadium; mass evacuation; human behavior; fire; guidelines; communication; simulation programs; pedestrian dynamics; Bradford City fire; Ibrox disaster; Hillsborough disaster; the Love Parade disaster; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The field of mass evacuation has existed for a long time. Already during the Roman Empire era evacuation problematic was considered. In modern times the field has gained more attention during the last couple of decades, especially for sports grounds and stadiums. READ MORE

  5. 4. Algebraic multigrid for a mass-consistent wind model, the Nordic Urban Dispersion model

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Markus Pogulis; [2015]
    Keywords : Mass-consistent model; urban environment; numerical method; algebraic multigrid;

    Abstract : In preparation for, and for decision support during, CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) emergencies it is essential to know how such an event would turn out, so that one can prepare a possible evacuation. Afterwards it might be good to know how to backtrack and see what caused the emergency, and in the case of e.g. READ MORE

  6. 5. Combination of CFD and evacuation models for determination of FED and FEC levels

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Beom Jin Jeong; [2014]
    Keywords : evacuation; CFD; FED; FEC; FDS6; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Previously developed methods to evaluate FED and FEC level via combination of CFD and evacuation simulation have been verified by new features of FDS6 and extended to fire cases involving common building materials. The FED levels calculated by the conversion factor [1] based on carbon monoxide are compared with the direct calculation by way of mass fraction of carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide and carbon dioxide.
