Cellular Automaton Simulation of Emergent Evacuation Considering the Classroom Seats Arrangement

摘要

An improved CA model is adopted to simulate the evacuation process in a classroom. It is found that the funnel shape aisle is most efficient, which is consistent with previous studies. Two evacuation time indicators, namely the average evacuation time (AT) and the longest evacuation time (LT), are used in simulations to show the effectiveness and efficiency of the system.
