Modelling the impact of signage systems on pedestrian and evacuee behaviour
The ability to use signage information to wayfind and determine the location of facilities within buildings is an important component in the successful use of the space. In reality, there are various types of signs (routes, services, location, etc.) for general circulation and evacuation …

Modeling and Assessing Crossing Elimination as a Strategy to Reduce Evacuee Travel Time
… in a given area. At the upper level, evacuees' travel time is minimized and at the lower level, traffic is assigned to the network with the traffic assignment-simulation software DynusT. The overall model is solved with a simulated annealing heuristic and applied to a real case study …

The development of a scenario independent method for evaluating the evacuation complexity of a building
… the ability to represent the real route that an evacuee will take during the wayfinding process. Furthermore the Distance Graph Method and Global Complexity (PAT) methods assume a “worst state” calculation for the nodal information. This means for buildings with more than one exit these methods …

A Framework for Developing and Integrating Effective Routing Strategies Within the Emergency Decision Support System
… area, severe bottlenecks would result due to evacuee traffic. To alleviate the congestion, contraflow lanes should be used on Montgomery Street (which becomes Bird Avenue) to help reduce congestion. While contraflow lanes helped the situation, traffic incidents potentially resulting from all …

Methods to Preserve Social Networks at Emergency Shelters
During large-scale disasters, social structures are disrupted. The current focus of emergency management is to ensure that people evacuate safely. Lost in the process is a mechanism for keeping existing social structures intact, despite substantial evidence that maintaining social structures during …
