A Hybrid Model for Evacuation Simulation and Efficiency Optimization in Large Complex Buildings

摘要

The Cellular Automaton(CA) and Artificial Potential Field(APF) method, as well as othertheories, are traditional to simulate the flow of people .A refine model of CA, combined with adaptedAnt Colony model, as well as the APF is delivered to simulate the evacuation process in largebuildings. An estimation of the total evacuation time within one floor in the Louvre is obtainedby applying this model. The bottlenecks are identified alongside the evacuation routes. Theapplicability and flexibility of this model are proved.
