Emergency evacuation is viewed as a common strategy adopted during the disaster
preparedness stage of evacuation to ensure the safety of potentially affected populations. In …

Agent-based models (ABMs) offer promise for realistically simulating human behaviours and
interactions during emergency evacuations. This review aims to systematically assess the …

Besides the inherent benefits of exchanging information and interactions between nodes on
a social graph, they can also become a means for the propagation of knowledge. Social …

The optimization of evacuation routes for evacuees in fire scenarios on cruise ships directly
affects evacuation efficiency. A time-varying equivalent weight Dijkstra algorithm (TVEWDA) …

Passengers' safety against unexpected incidents such as rail stations' fire accidents is
essential in the safety field. The presence of luggage with passengers occupies extra space …

The behavior of stair/escalator/elevator selection of passengers at the subway platform
could directly affect the travel efficiency and even the service level of the station. This paper …

Earthquake simulations at the urban scale usually focus on estimating the damages to the
built environment and the consequent losses without fully taking into account human …

This study develops a framework of pedestrian evacuation microsimulation modeling that
considers pedestrians' social-physiological behavior in assessing an airport evacuation. The …

A cellular automaton (CA) model with a finer discretization of space is proposed to simulate
a non-emergency evacuation process in a room with an obstacle. During the evacuation …

The eastern flank of NATO has been a region of strategic importance due to its proximity to
Russia. Moreover, tensions have escalated in recent years following Russia's annexation of …
