“…Yi and Özdamar (2007) proposed a dynamic logistics coordination model for evacuation and support in disaster response activities. Pursals and Garzon (2009) considered the building evacuation problem and developed a model for selecting the proper routs for movement of people in a building during an emergency situation.…”

“…They also investigated the optimal strategy in order to escape from a smoke filled room. An approach to find the optimal evacuation time in simple 2D environments is described in [12] where the occupants have n possible exits and use an evacuation function to select routes. The idea of different levels of agent knowledge and planning ability is considered in [13].…”

Abstract-In this work, we investigate aspects of building design that can be optimized. Architectural features that we explore include pillar placement in simple corridors, doorway placement in buildings, and agent placement for information dispersement in an evacuation. The metrics utilized are tuned to the specific scenarios we study, which include continuous flow pedestrian movement and building evacuation. We use Multidimensional Direct Search (MDS) optimization with an extreme barrier criteria to find optimal placements while enforcing building constraints.

An approach to find the optimal evacuation time in simple 2D environments is described in [6] where the occupants have n possible exits and use an evacuation function to select routes.

Abstract-In this paper we study the ingress and egress of pedestrians and vehicles in a parking lot. We show how local maneuvers executed by agents permit them to create trajectories in constrained environments, and to resolve the deadlocks between them in mixed-flow scenarios. We utilize a roadmap-based approach which allows us to map complex environments and generate heuristic local paths that are feasible for both pedestrians and vehicles. Finally, we examine the effect that some agent-behavioral parameters have on parking lot ingress and egress.
