Abstract

This workBraga, Henrique C. presents the computerMoita, Gray F. program FUGA v. 1.0, developedAlmeida, Paulo E.M. to simulate the movement of people in constructed environments in normal situations and also during an evacuation in emergency situations. FUGA is based on a discrete automata model using pre-defined rules. This program uses an ergonomic approach associated with human movement and fuzzy logic as a computer intelligence tool to emulate the human decision-making process. The model incorporates mechanical and mental aspects, as well as their quantitative and qualitative nature. This work shows how selected ergonomic quantities are incorporated into a human decision-making process emulated by a fuzzy logic system. FUGA simulates environments with any internal or external geometry; with one or more floors; with or without staircases or ramps and with uni or multi directional flows. Some simulations are performed showing how the software FUGA can be used in the design of safer environments, in a way that could hardly be achieved by simply applying the existing regulations.
