Abstract
In this article we propose a safest path route choice algorithm which determines the safest path directions for pedestrians in case of fire. We also propose an escape route system for emergency evacuation management. The model and the algorithms are implemented in an open source framework (JuPedSim) which is a research platform to simulate pedestrian dynamics. The proposed algorithm allows the even distribution of the evacuees to all available emergency exits. We simulate the evacuation of a shopping centre and show that the application of the algorithm can reduce the total evacuation time up to 63% depending on the settings of the algorithm. Based on those results we elaborate an escape route system for emergency evacuation. The system includes three modules and can be operated in several modes. The designed system allow not only significantly to reduce the evacuation time but also to ensure people’s safety during evacuation.
