“…The interactive module effectively returns information and stimuli to the occupants based on algorithm results. The interactive module can be included into common elements, such as way-finding components [31,32] or decision nodes [29], or personal and portable devices [12,32]. The testing phase usually consists in technology effectiveness analysis and in validating the system by using evacuation simulation software.…”

“…Consequently, the second factor concerns defining an interactive system for supporting evacuation. Various systems composed of modern and wearable devices have been proposed [12,[29][30][31][32]; in addition, multi-sensor approaches are provided [33]. Similar technologies have also been proposed for outdoor evacuations [34].…”

“…Olander et al [37] investigated the key features of dissuasive emergency signage and confirmed that red X-markings, red flashing lights and colour alternation are effective features. In addition, dynamic electronic signage [38], variable evacuation guidance [39] and a dynamic active emergency signage system architecture "DSS-SL" based of SDN [40] were presented for optimizing the way finding and crowd evacuation processes.…”

How to simulate the true pedestrian psychology who face emergency is an important issue that decides evacuation efficiency. Pedestrian psychology during the evacuation process is complex, abstract and difficult to quantify directly. Based on the typical social force model, this paper improves the pedestrian direction selection procedure and introduces “weight factor” to adjust the degree of contribution of “the density factor” and “the distance factor” to pedestrians’ choice of moving direction. In this model, pedestrians can not only roughly estimate the distance between themselves and each exit, but also judge the degree of crowd gathering near each exit by virtue of the electronic display screen in the center of the cross aisle. Simulation results show that, for configuration with multi-rooms and multi-exits, when the pedestrian number reaches a certain level, only considering the distance factor will lead to uneven distribution of the crowd, therefore inducing obvious congestion. On the other hand, concentrating too much on the density factor make pedestrians hesitate to choose the appropriate exit. In conclusion, we should comprehensively consider the impact of the “density factor”and the “distance factor”, which helps to provide feasible evacuation strategies for emergency situations and to improve both evacuation efficiency and exit utilization.
