Book excerpt: The goal of this study is to use Modeling and Simulation of Evacuation Plan (MSEP) to support management to execute proper evacuation plan in case of emergency at Hancock Stadium in Illinois State University. Analyses of the research literature and evacuation scenarios are used to build a simulation system that will connect a description of emergency and evacuation situation with its context. It shows how an evacuation plan actually functions. The results of the study will help safety managers to understand the current situations of evacuation according to the specific simulation scenarios. The evacuation simulation is categorized according to the types of emergent situations and the number of evacuees. Each simulation is validated according to the real time data collected through observations and the published literatures. The practical implications of the research include the developed system to be used in case of emergencies and the experience gained will help future design of large-scale venues and facilities. This research innovatively used Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, Dijkstra and Open Cleared Path algorithms, and Pedestrian Dynamics® simulation system for an open-space, steel structure in evacuation routes.

Book Synopsis Large-Scale Evacuation by : Michael K. Lindell

Download or read book Large-Scale Evacuation written by Michael K. Lindell. This book was released on 2018-12-07. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large-Scale Evacuation introduces the reader to the steps involved in evacuation modelling for towns and cities, from understanding the hazards that can require large-scale evacuations, through understanding how local officials decide to issue evacuation advisories and households decide whether to comply, to transportation simulation and traffic management strategies. The author team has been recognized internationally for their research and consulting experience in the field of evacuations. Collectively, they have 125 years of experience in evacuation, including more than 140 projects for federal and state agencies. The text explains how to model evacuations that use the road transportation network by combining perspectives from social scientists and transportation engineers, fields that have commonly approached evacuation modelling from distinctly different perspectives. In doing so, it offers a step-by-step guide through the key questions needed to model an evacuation and its impacts to the evacuation route system as well as evacuation management strategies for influencing demand and expanding capacity. The authors also demonstrate how to simulate the resulting traffic and evacuation management strategies that can be used to facilitate evacuee movement and reduce unnecessary demand. Case studies, which identify key points to analyze in an evacuation plan, discuss evacuation termination and re-entry, and highlight challenges that someone developing an evacuation plan or model should expect, are also included. This textbook will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, and advanced students.

Book Synopsis Game Day Emergency by : Dylan Robert Paul

Download or read book Game Day Emergency written by Dylan Robert Paul. This book was released on 2015. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has deemed anti-terrorism evacuation planning and simulation critically important for sport stadium security. In this study, a flow based geographic information system (GIS) vector evacuation model was built in ArcMap. The model was developed to compute a total evacuation time estimate (ETE) for The University of Alabama's football stadium in the event of a human-made hazard, among other purposes. Though a GIS based stadium evacuation model has already been published, this study sought to improve the limitations of that model, as well as to provide emergency management planners (EMPs) with additional tools to help them prepare for a variety of human-made hazards. The model was successful in those aims. The model yielded an ETE of 23.54 minutes and gave planners the use of the functions in ArcMap's Network Analyst extension, including seat-by-seat evacuation routes, service areas, and closest exit locations.

Book excerpt: Intelligent Transportation and Evacuation Planning: A Modeling-Based Approach provides a new paradigm for evacuation planning strategies and techniques. Recently, evacuation planning and modeling have increasingly attracted interest among researchers as well as government officials. This interest stems from the recent catastrophic hurricanes and weather-related events that occurred in the southeastern United States (Hurricane Katrina and Rita). The evacuation methods that were in place before and during the hurricanes did not work well and resulted in thousands of deaths. This book offers insights into the methods and techniques that allow for implementing mathematical-based, simulation-based, and integrated optimization and simulation-based engineering approaches for evacuation planning.
