Abstract

The guideline MSC/Circ.1033, developed by the International Maritime Organisation in 2002 is the only regulation worldwide, which defines a minimum standard for simulation tools and how they have to be applied in order to perform an evacuation analysis. Its application is mandatory for RoPax vessels, ferries carrying rolling cargo as well as passengers. However, for the use of evacuation simulations in land based applications like buildings, no precise regulation existed. Authorities having to assess evaluations based on simulations had to rely on the seriousness of the person or company performing the simulations. The following paper introduces the RiMEA project which was among others initiated by TraffGo HT. Based on the uniquely organized work of about forty participants (fire safety engineers, simulation developers and authorities) from Switzerland, Austria and Germany a new guideline for the building industry is developed. It will reach its second level of completion when PED2005 is taking place.
