An organized evacuation of pedestrians entrapped in a building, in
emergencies such as those caused by fire, bomb blast, intentional
or unintentional release of toxins in buildings etc., is of utmost
importance. The focus of this book is on the development of a
formal control methodology for an orderly and jam-free evacuation
of pedestrians entrapped in a network of corridors in buildings in
such emergency situations. To develop an effective solution, the
pedestrian evacuation from a network of corridors is divided into
two basic problems of flow routing and flow control. In this study
the solutions of these two basic problems are developed. Concepts
are applied from the disciplines of control engineering, operations
research and transportation engineering to come up with novel ideas
which model the critical aspects of the emergency evacuation
scenario. While capturing the emergency egress situation
appropriately these ideas are purposely kept simple enough to
provide insights for practical applications.
