Abstract

During a fire evacuation, evacuees do not start evacuating immediately on hearing a fire alarm. This delay in reaction is often the cause of unnecessary deaths. However, it is hardly ever considered in computational models of egress. In this paper, an agent based computational model for pre-evacuation behavior is proposed and implemented by modeling cue perception and communication. Through experiments, the significant impact that pre-evacuation behavior modeling can have is also demonstrated.
