Abstract
Casualties and huge losses could result from fire disasters in buildings. On the event of fires, evacuation from an isolated place of course becomes difficult and complicated due to factors such as fire spread, panic in evacuee movement and consequent congestion, failure in communication due to errors and delays, etc. This paper aims to compare competitive algorithms used for the calculation of shortest paths or the safest paths to mitigate the problem of evacuation. It also reviews corresponding evacuation models implemented in the past. By comparison with all existing methods, challenging issues are discussed, which should be met to enable basic requirements of an evacuation routing system. We conclude by underlining future directions towards enhancing the abilities for fire evacuation.
