摘要：The architectural design of places where substantial numbers of people gather must consider the need for evacuation under emergency events, such as fires. In this work, simulation of the evacuation of people concentrated in buildings or other enclosed spaces under such emergency situations is addressed. The movement of people during evacuation is simulated by using techniques borrowed from swarm behavior, particularly PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization). Some practical examples have been considered, which take into account location, dimensions, and number of exits. Application of these techniques allows for assessment of the behavioral patterns of individuals during rapid evacuation events. Evaluation of these behaviors can inform a variety of public safety concerns, such as architectural design, evacuation protocol definition, and regulation of public space.
