Abstract

In this paper a model for active and dynamic people evacuation is presented. Proposed model optimizes evacuation process according to chosen evaluation factor. Model contains an algorithm for determining all possible evacuations plans which are represented as a sets of graphs. This two-layer approach allows for fast calculations, which can be conducted in a time short enough for the results to be used for active dynamic evacuation signage system. In certain times of the evacuation simulation or real evacuation, route assessment calculations are carried out. When the calculations are completed, the result is presented as a recommended direction of evacuation.
