This study analyzed the appropriate placement method by floor for evacuating all occupants during the nighttime through evacuation simulation. The analysis results are as follows. First, when non-self evacuating patients were placed on the first floor, 266 patients and 6 workers were found to be evacuated after 460 seconds. This result shows that it is meaningful to place non-self evacuating patients on the lower floor with a time that is faster than 540 seconds, which is an evaluation criterion set using life Safety standards for human. This result is a time faster than the evaluation criteria of 540 seconds, which is set using the life safety standards, and it can be confirmed that it is meaningful to place non-self evacuating patients on the lower floor. Next, as a result of placing non-self evacuating patients from the first floor to the fourth floor, it was found that evacuation of all occupants required 460 seconds for the first floor, 834 seconds for the second floor, 1,508 seconds for the third floor, and 1,915 seconds for the fourth floor. These results indicate that the placement of non-self evacuating patients on the rest of the floors, except for the first floor, can lead to dangerous results in excess of 540 seconds, which is a flashover time. As a result, it is necessary to place non-self evacuating patients on a lower floor for safe evacuation. The study has limitations except for comparative analysis of changes in evacuation time due to changes in the number of workers at eldery care hospitals and situations in which fire-fighting facilities such as sprinkler facilities operated. It is necessary to study the evacuation time linked to the operation of the fire-fighting facilities and the evacuation time according to the change in the number of workers in the future.

This paper presents a simulation for passenger ship evacuation considering determination of evacuating direction based on walking direction potential function. In order to determine walking direction of a passenger, his/her position in two dimensional plane was adopted as a design variable, and fixed boundaries such as walls and obstacles were adopted as constraints. To solve this optimum problem, a walking direction potential function was adopted as an objective function. This potential function was configured as a kind of penalty function and it contained two components. One is a potential function concerned with the distance to the destination, and other is a potential function based on the effect of walls and obstacles. To determine evacuating direction, this problem was solved by minimizing the walking direction potential function every unit time during the simulation. The crowd behavior of the passenger consisted of the flock behavior, a form of collective behavior of a large number of interacting passengers with a common group. With the proposed algorithm, the test problems in International Maritime Organization, Maritime Safety Committee/Circulation 1238(IMO MSC/Circ.1238) were implemented and the direction of passengers and total evacuation time was analyzed.

본 연구에서는 예기치 않는 화재 등의 재해가 돌발적으로 발생하였을 경우 소리 정보에 의해서 사람들을 적극적으로 올바른 방향으로 피난 유도시키려면 피난자가 유도 정보의 내용을 알아들을 뿐만 아니라 피난 방향도 지각할 수 있는 것이 필요하다. 이에 피난 유도음의 방향을 감지할 수 있는 선행음 효과를 이용하여 각 건물공간에서 선행음과 후속음에 대해서 음압레벨 변화와 지연시간 변화에 따른 청감실험 결과 즉, 최적의 음성 피난유도음을 도출하였다. 각 실내공간에서 최적의 음성 피난 유도음은 다음과 같다. 1) 강의실 공간에서 음성 피난 유도음의 최적의 조건은 선행음보다 후속음이 지연시간을 10ms~50ms 갖는 경우와 선행음과 후속음의 음압레벨 차이가 없거나 선행음이 높은 경우에 선행음 방향에 대하여 양호하게 인지하였다. 2) 복도 공간에서의 최적의 음성 피난 유도음은 선행음보다 후속음이 지연시간 20~60ms인 경우에 선행음에 대하여 양호하게 인지하였다. 3) 체육관에서는 최적의 음성 피난유도음은 선행음보다 후속음이 지연시간 10~40ms인 경우와 선행음이 후속음보다 음압레벨이 크거나 같은 경우에 선행음에 대하여 양호하게 인지하였다.

대형 할인 마트의 인명 안전 설계를 위해 대상 건물을 선정, 피난로의 피난시간을 계산해 보았다. 피난계산은 두 가지 방법으로 하였는데, 하나는 Computer 피난 모델인 EXODUS이고, 다른 하나는 일본의 피난계산법이다. 연구방법은 모델의 특성연구, 실제 대상 및 시나리오 선정, 그리고 피난 계산을 하였다. 연구결과, 대상 건물은 매우 높은 피난시간이 계산되어 설계된 피난로는 설정된 인구 이상의 용량을 피난시킬 수 없는 부적절한 것임을 알 수 있었다.

The door open time, resulting from occupants evacuating from apartments, is an important parameter when assessing the performance of smoke ventilation systems in high-rise apartment buildings. However, the values recommended in UK design guidance appear to have limited substantiation. Monte Carlo simulations have been carried out considering variabilities in door swing time, flow rate and number of occupants. It has been found that the door open time can be represented by a lognormal distribution with a mean of 6.6, 8.7 and 11.1 s and a standard deviation of 1.7, 3.2 and 4.7 s for one, two and three-bedroom apartments, respectively. For deterministic analyses, it is proposed that the 95th percentile values may be adopted in line with recommended practice for other fire safety design parameters such as fuel load density and soot yield, giving door open times of 10 s to 19 s, depending on the number of bedrooms.

고층 공동주택에서 화재시 현관문을 통해 탈출이 불가능할 경우를 대비해 발코니를 통해 피난이 가능하도록 피난시설을 설치한다. 이는 공동주택 세대의 양방향 피난이 가능하게 하며, 이로 인해 인명피해를 줄일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 양방향 피난시설인 경량 칸막이, 발코니 대피 공간, 실내형 하향식 피난구의 특징을 살펴보고 이들의 문제점을 개선한 실외형 하향식 피난구를 제시하고 경제성에 대해 분석하였다. 화재 발생 시 피난자는 전통식 피난구를 사용할 때보다 하향식 피난구를 사용할 때 능동적인 탈출 가능 여부를 더 자율적으로 판단 할 수 있다. 따라서 피난자의 피난방식에 따라 피난소요시간에 미치는 영향을 고려하여 계단식과 하향식 피난구를 통한 4가지 피난방식의 피난 소요시간은 시뮬레이션 pathfinder를 활용하여 비교분석하였다. 피난 소요 시간 단축을 위한 적합한 대피방식을 예측 분석 판단하였다. 본 연구의 결과 고층 아파트 하향식 피난구는 계단식보다 총 피난소요시간을 단축할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

In this study, we provided an index for the quantitative and systematic performance based fire risk assessment. A complex cinema was adopted for the fire scenario and the fire simulation was carried out by using FDS. Also evacuation time was calculated by using SIMULEX. We obtained a big different fire risk assessment result by the focus on the between space basis and the time basis. As a result of this study, performance based fire risk assessment should be performed on the basis of individual evacuee's path line.

A computer simulation model is proposed for selecting effective agrees paths and estimating the evacuation time in case of evacuating all the residents of a building to the safe area. The physical structure of a building is formulated into a network. The followings are considered in the model : the congestion effect to the velocity, the behavioral pattern of the evacuees, and the probabilistic nature of the evacuation process. Coded in SLAM II/PC, the simulation model can generate the output such as evacuation time(max, average), utilization of exits, utilization of passages, floor clearance times, and bottleneck information. The "rigorous" validation of the proposed model is not completed yet but remains to be a future research topic.rch topic.

There are two types of vacuum die casting, one is known as the chill block method, and the other is the valve block method. Efficiency of the valve block method is better than the chill block method. However purchasing and maintaining cost of the former one is very high, the latter method is popular in many small and medium die casting shops. Simple evacuation system using chill vent was prepared to investigate the effect of the air pressure, hose length and chill vent type on the pressure change in die cavity in this study. The rate of evacuation was influenced by the evacuation method, chill vent condition and hose length. Evacuation time became longer and vacuum level lower when evacuating cavity via chill vent. It took a longer time to evacuate the cavity when a longer hose was used. Vacuum level in the cavity also decreased with increase in hose length.

Early evacuations reduce the damage caused by catastrophic events such as terrorism, tsunamis, heavy rains, landslides, and river floods. However, even when warnings are issued, people do not easily evacuate during these events. To shorten the evacuation time, initiative-evacuation and its executors, initiative evacuees, are crucial in inducing other evacuations. The initiative evacuees take the initiative in evacuating and call out to their surroundings. This paper proposes a fast method to induce initiative-evacuation based on social graphs. The candidates are determined in descending order of the number of links for each person. The proposed method was evaluated through simulations. The simulation results showed a significant reduction in evacuation time.
