Abstract

Evacuation drills are executed to practice smooth rescue operations during emergencies. Evacuation simulation systems have been proposed to simulate evacuation behaviours of people in such situations, and to improve prevention plans. In this paper, we point out new features in simulating evacuation behaviours in dynamically changing situations and propose a simulation method in a case of closing fire shutters. Our simulation results show more realistic behaviours of evacuations than the traditional simulations and indicate potential to improve prevention plans for emergency situations and thus reduce fatalities, injuries, and damage from disasters.
