Agent-Based Pedestrian Simulation of Train Evacuation Integrating Environmental Data

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 5803))

Abstract

Simulating evacuation processes forms an established way of layout evaluation or testing routing strategies or sign location. A variety of simulation projects using different microscopic modeling and simulation paradigms has been performed. In this contribution, we are presenting a particular simulation project that evaluates different emergency system layout for a planned train tunnel. The particular interesting aspect of this project is the integration of realistic dynamic environmental data about temperature and smoke propagation and its effect on the agents equipped with high-level abilities.
