1. 1. Moving in the dark : Mathematics of complex pedestrian flows

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

   Author : Meghashyam Veluvali; [2023]
   Keywords : Mathematical modelling of pedestrian dynamics; stochastic systems; evacuation time; random walk method; parabolic equation; finite difference method;

   Abstract : The field of mathematical modelling for pedestrian dynamics has attracted significant scientific attention, with various models proposed from perspectives such as kinetic theory, statistical mechanics, game theory and partial differential equations. Often such investigations are seen as being a part of a new branch of study in the domain of applied physics, called sociophysics. READ MORE

3. 2. Mescape - A probabilistic mesoscopic model for fire evacuation in large gatherings

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Lorenzo Contini; [2022]
   Keywords : Human behaviour; crowd evacuation; mesoscopic modelling; hydraulic model; large gatherings; fire safety; performance-based design; quantitative risk assessment; consequence analysis; uncertainty analysis; probabilistic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study presents a mesoscopic model that predicts pedestrian evacuation in large gatherings with probabilistic methods. The model is based on a coarse network representation of buildings, where occupants are treated at a different scale according to their location. READ MORE

4. 3. 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. 4. Requirements for Modelling WUI Fire Evacuation by Unconventional Means

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Rona Tyler; [2021]
   Keywords : WUI fire; evacuation modelling; wildfire; evacuation; traffic modelling; pedestrian modelling; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Wildfires pose a significant safety issue, especially when they interact with urban areas, known as wildland urban interface (WUI) fires. As wildfire numbers are rising and developments near wildlands are increasing, there is an increased need to model all types of evacuation in order to prepare and inform evacuating authorities and evacuees.

6. 5. 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.
