Abstract

This paper designs and implements a general evacuation simulation system. In resent years, the computer simulation has gradually become an important research means to evacuation, a general simulation model based on CA for evacuation is presented, it can describe the complex environment to enhance versatility using three entities which include channels, exits and unreachable areas. Evacuation simulation system based on modular design is developed, in which every entity realizes interaction by simulation affairs management module. The entities’ states are independent to each other so it is easy to expand and vindicate the modules expediently. While combining application example verifies validity and versatility of the model.
