| Summary: | Human safety is an important issue when handling the crowd evacuation in order to avoid death and injuries. Human behavior changes from normal to panic behavior when they are in an emergency scenario such as building on fire. Modelling panic behavior on evacuee is a critical challenge as the human movement is unpredictable. Simulation (example: Discrete Event Simulation and Agent-Based Simulation) is a well-known method to investigate crowd evacuation. But the question here is: Which simulation method is suitable to model a realistic representation of crowd evacuation? Thus, in this paper, a simulation model based on Agent-Based Simulation (ABS) and Social Force Simulation (SFS) Model is proposed to improve on modelling fire evacuation in a closed space (building). To achieve the above research aim, three
simulation models (ABS Model, SFS Model and a hybrid of
ABS and SFS model) will be developed and compared. This
paper will discuss on the development of conceptual model
of these three simulation models. Later, the conceptual
models will be used to represent the investigated simulation
models. |
