METHODOLOGY FOR MODELING HUMAN MOVEMENTS AND PRACTICE OF PROGRAMMING THEIR MOVEMENT DURING EVACUATION

Due to the extensive use of the theory of human flows at standardizing the evacuation of people in emergency situations there are being developed both in our country and abroad, software and computer systems, which make it possible to analyze the different situations the calculated when solving engineering problems of fire safety in buildings of various purposes. Use only reliable software systems based on the results of field observations and established psychophysical regularities adequately assess the evacuation process model, thereby advance to identify the most loaded path sections movement of people in an emergency and provide the best solutions for standardizing the size of escape routes and exits. Comparative analysis of the models leads to the conclusion that using formulas that implement a simplified analytical model, possible to calculate only the most simple cases pedestrian traffic. With that for the simulation of evacuation process it should be used simulation and stochastic model of pedestrian traffic, which most accurately reflects the dynamics of the process under different operating conditions of the building.
