| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During emergencies, it is extremely important to safely exit buildings and perform rescue operations quickly. Evacuation drills are conducted periodically to practice smooth evacuations and effective rescue operations. To evaluate the effectiveness of evacuation drills, it is necessary to analyze human evacuation behaviors from two perspectives: the perspective of the evacuee and the perspective of the rescue responder.
We developed TENDENKO that simulates the evacuation of a crowd of evacuees and rescuers in realistic situations. TENDENKO has three features: emergency information is announced to agents, agents have social and personal relationships between them and behave according to their roles, and rescue agents move against the flow of evacuee agents. Our research shows the simulations serve to improve evacuation planning for the building to save more lives during future emergencies.
