“…Others studies modelled the evacuation of cities during a tsunami [9], [61], [62], [64], while other models considered the emergency of wildfires [24] and floods [73], [94]. The majority of the surveyed papers, however, did not target a specific type of emergency evacuation [2], [4], [8], [11], [18], [23], [25], [28]- [41], [50]- [52], [54], [55], [57], [66], [68], [70]- [72], [74], [76]- [78], [80], [82], [85], [87], [95]- [97].

“…Moreover, elevators may be used for evacuation in certain situations, such as non-fire emergencies or when elevators are prepared to operate during fire emergencies [2]. Additionally, the authors in [85] considered agents behaviour to be irrational during panic, allowing agents to use the elevator or even jump from a floor to evacuate.…”

“…According to the theory of affordance, an agent may choose an action based on its physical characteristics. For example, a young and healthy agent may perceive the physical load of a certain action as easy compared to an elderly agent [85].

Crowd evacuation in emergencies may lead to fatalities if the evacuation plans were not tested and evaluated. Traditionally, evacuation drills have been, and still are, being used to assess evacuation plans. However, in recent years the simulation of evacuation plans during emergencies has emerged as a strong alternative that is cost effective and potentially more accurate. Agent-Based Simulation (ABS) is the preferred type of simulation for evacuation scenarios, due to its ability to model individual decisionmaking and social behaviour. In this paper we conduct meta-analysis of eighty-one peer-reviewed papers published between 2009 and 2019 that used ABS to model pedestrian evacuation. Our analysis assesses the current state-of-art and identifies opportunities for improvement. We identify seven dimensions over which the surveyed papers agree or differ. The dimensions include purpose of the simulation, type of emergency and environment considerations, type and scale of evacuated space, simulation software used, agents' characteristics and behaviour, support of evacuation policies, and analysis and validation. We conduct meta-analysis of the surveyed papers along the identified dimensions. One of the main findings of our analysis is the lack of a standardized validation methodology for ABS of emergency evacuation.

“…e macroscopic model can e ectively re ect evacuation time and the evacuation process, but lack the microscopic factors such as the psychological effects of pedestrians and behavioral changes during evacuation. Social force models [10,11] and agent-based model [12] give behavioral information of evacuated pedestrians, corrects behavior parameters such as evacuation speed, and optimizes the simulation model. e simulation process is close to objective reality.…”

Pedestrian merging flows are common in a stairs evacuation process, which involves complex interactions among pedestrians that substantially restrict the efficiency of the stairs evacuation process. Analyzing the pedestrian merging flows process and improving the efficiency of stairs evacuation are urgent and essential tasks. A novel simplified stairs evacuation model for simulating and analyzing the stairs evacuation process, which considers the impact of merging flows, is proposed in this process. The dynamic pedestrian output rate of a floor platform is calculated by the number of pedestrians on the floor platform. The merging ratio determined by the design size of stairs is adopted to determine the ratio between the stairs pedestrian flow and the floor pedestrian flow in the pedestrian output rate of the floor platform. To evaluate the stairs evacuation process is divided into three stages based on the pedestrian merging flows process, and the evacuation time at each stage is computed by the dynamic pedestrian output rate of the floor platform. The stairs evacuation capacity is calculated by the evacuation time and the number of pedestrians. A case study of a six-floor building evacuation is investigated, and the reliability and feasibility of the proposed model is verified. By establishing different merging ratios, the optimal merging ratio is obtained by comparing the evacuation capacities of different merging ratios, which provides a reference of stairs design for designers.
