  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

    Abstract : The thesis purpose is to validate a set of functionalities of MassMotion. MassMotion is an evacuation model that can simulate the pedestrian movement in a 2D environment and visualize it in a 3D environment. READ MORE

  3. 3. 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.

  4. 4. Modelling Ascending Stair Evacuation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Caroline Eriksson Lantz; [2015]
    Keywords : Ascending stair evacuation; stair evacuation modelling; walking speed in stairs.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The thesis presents a basic validation study on the use of evacuation models for the simulation of ascending stair evacuation. The validation of the evacuation models is performed against a benchmark experiment consisting of a 50-floor ascending evacuation. READ MORE
