DESIGNING OF EVACUATION EXITS IN ELLIPTICAL CORRIDOR TYPE BUILDINGS. ALGORITHM FOR CALCULATING NARROW CORRIDORS

There is considered the possibility of solving the problem of optimal choice of evacuation exits along one or both sides of curved corridors, both sides of which are parts of an ellipse, for further minimizing the mixing of human flows (and, accordingly, preventing congestion during movement of people) during evacuation in case of fire or other emergencies. An algorithm for determining the optimal distribution of exits for narrow corridors is presented.
