This book presents an overview of modeling definitions and
concepts, theory on human behavior and human performance data,
available tools and simulation approaches, model development, and
application and validation methods. It considers the data and
research efforts needed to develop and incorporate functions for
the different parameters into comprehensive escape and evacuation
simulations, with a number of examples illustrating different
aspects and approaches. After an overview of basic modeling
approaches, the book discusses benefits and challenges of current
techniques. The representation of evacuees is a central issue,
including human behavior and the proper implementation of
representational tools. Key topics include the nature and
importance of the different parameters involved in ASET and RSET
and the interactions between them. A review of the current
literature on verification and validation methods is provided, with
a set of recommended verification tests and examples of validation
tests. The book concludes with future challenges: new scenarios and
factors for future model developments, addresses the problem of
using deterministic and/or stochastic approaches and proposes, and
discusses the use of evacuation models for supporting timely
decisions in real-time. Written by international experts,
Evacuation Modeling Trends is designed for those involved in
safety, from emergency and intervention personnel to students,
engineers and researchers.
