Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to develop a scalable evacuation analysis system covering from a building to urban space. This system evaluated the GA-generated building plans taking into consideration for crowd movement. As a result of an application to a cinema complex planning, the estimated evacuation time was reduced as the GA generation went by. In addition, this system simulated an evacuation from a large-scale underground shopping mall by using GPU computing and visualized the 25,000 crowd movement on a 3D tiled display wall. This environment enables to review a disaster prevention plan with a group of people.
