Simulating complex building evacuations, this study explores how crowd behavior changes with shared knowledge and varied roles. Findings reveal improved safety strategies for emergency situations.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Social Sciences
  • Engineering

Background:

  • Evacuation dynamics in complex buildings are poorly understood.
  • Crowd behavior during emergencies is influenced by environmental factors and social interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To simulate and analyze crowd evacuation in complex buildings.
  • To investigate the impact of communication and role-playing on evacuation efficiency.

Main Methods:

  • Agent-based modeling was used to simulate crowd behavior.
  • Two scenarios were explored: knowledge sharing and role differentiation.

Main Results:

  • Communication of building route knowledge significantly improved evacuation times.
