%X During a long term research in the field of evacuation simulation, one of the two most questions, which have been asked, are "Where should I place pedestrians in my evacuation simulation?" and "Which pre-movement time should I choose?" To answer these questions, pedestrians have been placed in different locations and to show the effect of pre-movement time, pedestrians have been placed in the building and the pre-movement time interval has been varied (we choose a uniform distribution for the time interval). What we found was a boundary value, on which the influence of the pre-movement time interval on the calculated evacuation time changed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>
