Evacnet :

A Participatory Agent-Based Simulation for Indoor Evacuation Supported by Google Glass

“…Based on these concepts, a number of domain-specific simulators deal with evacuations of indoor environments for emergencies [ 27 ]. Among others, we can find some examples in EVACNET [ 28 ], STEPS [ 29 ], SimWalk [ 30 ] or WAYOUT [ 31 ]. These are excellent tools for emergency modeling, but they do not consider some interesting features for intelligent real-time evacuation planning, such as the sensor model and/or actuators.…”

Stair evacuation simulation based on cellular automata considering evacuees’ walk preferences

“…To evaluate the design of stairs, simulations are widely used since the building layout can be well considered. [6,7] Many useful commercial tools, such as EXIT89, [8,9] FPETool, [10] EVACNET4, [11,12] TIMTEX, [13] WAYOUT, [14] STEPS, [15] and building EXODUS, [16] are developed to simulate stair evacuation. However, evacuees' walk preferences and psychological status are not considered in existing simulations.…”

Towards a Holistic Framework for the Evaluation of Emergency Plans in Indoor Environments

“…A number of domain-specific simulators address the emergency domain in indoor environments [ 26 ]. Some examples are EVACNET4 [ 27 ], WAYOUT [ 28 ], STEPS [ 29 ] and SimWalk [ 30 ]. These works give excellent tools to model emergencies, but: (1) they do not contemplate the inclusion of AmI features to assess an intelligent plan, such as a sensor model and actuators to guide users intelligently; (2) they tend to ignore the multi-agent paradigm, which, as stated in the Introduction, is an intuitive manner of studying complex adaptive systems; and, more importantly; (3) the code is often not available, and thus, researchers cannot extend, reuse or simply learn from it.…”
