Passenger ships facilitate the mobility of people at sea and are a significant revenue stream
for societies. Simultaneously, they should meet safety standards. One of the main safety …

This research aims at demonstrating that wayfinding solutions can improve the effectiveness
of the evacuation processes in complex architectural spaces such as those of cruise ships …

The fundamental diagram and self-organized phenomena in crowds are widely used to test
the applicability of evacuation models. These benchmarks are good indicators for the validity …

Passenger evacuation under ship fires is very complex and largely uncertain. For ship
design, conducting an uncertainty analysis of passenger travel time requires a large number …

As a popular way of travelling on water, cruise tourism is welcomed by the public. The cruise
ship, as a large water-borne city, can accommodate a large number of passengers, but …

The evacuation of the cruise ship is directly related to the safety of passengers during
accidents. The method for avoiding and reducing casualties in accidents has become a …

Planning emergency evacuation operations in a proactive manner in public marine
transportation systems is a critical success factor for passenger and crew safety. Despite the …

In order to reduce assembly time and improve the computational efficiency under ship fires,
a surrogate-based optimization technique is proposed to estimate the optimal time of the …

With the rapid development of water transportation and tourism, safe return to port is
required by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for passenger ships subject to …

Abstract International guidelines (IMO MSC. Circ 1533) specify that evacuation models used
to certify evacuation performance of passenger ships must demonstrate that the calculated …
