A number of computer models for the evacuation of buildings have been produced in recent years. These models typically use a system known as network-node modelling, which makes a number of large assumptions concerning human motion. Methods used in the software package SIMULEX differ from the traditional methods of assessing motion in terms of average parameters and flow rates . The most...
The computer model SIMULEX is designed to simulate the escape movement of thousands of individual people through large, geometrically complex building spaces. The model is intended for use both as a research and design tool to analyse the evacuation of large populations through a wide range of building environments.The computer program assigns a variety of attributes to each individual in the...
