1. 1. Assessment of People's Perception of Fire Growth: A Virtual Reality Study

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Francisco Rosero; [2017]
   Keywords : Virtual Reality; Fire Growth; Estimation; evacuation; emergency; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : One important aspect that is considered when designing safer buildings is human behavior. A comprehensive assessment of how people react during a fire, provides engineers valuable information, which will allow them to develop effective solutions to help people reach a safe place under tenable conditions.

5. 4. Verification and Validation of Viswalk for Building Evacuation Modelling

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Johan Henningsson; Johan Blomstrand Martén; [2015]
   Keywords : Viswalk; evacuation model; egress model; verification; validation; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This thesis is evaluating the pedestrian modelling software Viswalk for the use as a building evacuation model, by verifying and validating the model. In the verification, a procedure from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is used as a basis to assess Viswalk’s ability to represent pre-evacuation time, movement and navigation, exit usage, route availability and flow constraints.
