The story is composed of five rooms and one corridor. Influence of various parameters on the evacuation process is investigated. It shows that the width of the door of rooms has little influence but the width of the corridor and the maximum velocity of the pedestrian have great influence on the time for evacuation. The relation between evacuation time and the width of corridor is found as tc ∝ W^-0.84. It is also found that appropriate shape of the room is helpful to evacuation.展开更多

文摘Computer simulations on the evacuation process in a story are launched with cellular automaton in this article. The story is composed of five rooms and one corridor. Influence of various parameters on the evacuation process is investigated.

The relation between evacuation time and the width of corridor is found as tc ∝ W^-0.84. It is also found that appropriate shape of the room is helpful to evacuation.
