Fire evacuation model based on motor schema and cellular automaton

摘要

A fire evacuation model was developed based on motor schema and cellular automaton to simulate safe evacuation procedures during fires.The model uses the motor schema of an intelligent mobile robot and considers the effects of the fire environment on evacuation behavior,i.e.the physiological and psychological effects of the fire which result in low-efficiency behavior.A health is included with the health deterioration due to the smoke,temperature,reduced oxygen,increased carbon dioxide,and increased carbon monoxide,which affect the evacuation route and evacuation speed.The studies included many people with different walking speeds evacuating from a building.The results agree with previous studies to show that the model provides a feasible framework for simulating evacuation from fire environments.
