Crowded environments are inherently vulnerable to a range of risks, including earthquakes,
fires, violent attacks, and terrorism. In such scenarios, every second counts in an evacuation …

This work is a systematic review of optimisation methods for pedestrian evacuations. The
focus is on interventional approaches that seek to improve evacuation efficiency rather than …

In the context of evacuating crowded spaces during acute crises, every second is pivotal and
can be the determinant in life-or-death situations. It is, therefore, important to explore and …

Chaotic maps are effective in developing evolutionary algorithms (EAs) to avoid local optima
and speed convergence. Because of this capability of chaotic maps, these maps have been …

Fire safety evacuation has been used in numerous different kinds of buildings. This research
conducts a scientometric review of fire safety evacuation applications and advances in the …

In recent years, the use of artificial intelligence methodologies has demonstrated
effectiveness in improving the safety and efficiency of building evacuations during …

Planning for preparedness, in terms of multi-hazard disasters, involves testing the relevant
abilities to mitigate damage and build resilience, through the assessment of deterministic …

Academic studies have shown that obstacles at the exit can improve evacuation efficiency,
managers are skeptical of this strategy due to the effort and complexity required to …

Exits are essential to the efficiency of building evacuation due to its irreplaceable function,
and the layout of multiple exits has always been the key concern for architectural design. To …

Passenger ships are likely to be inclined during and after accidents, which is a vital factor
that affects pedestrian behaviors and crowd dynamics in the evacuation process. On a …
