Abstract(s)
Building evacuation simulation allows for a better assessment of fire
safety conditions in existing buildings, which is why it is of interest to develop
an easy-to-use web platform that helps fire safety technicians in this assessment.
To achieve this goal, the geometric and physical representation of the building
and installed fire safety devices are necessary, as well as the modelling of occupant movement. Although these are widely studied areas, in this paper, we present two new model approaches, either for the physical and geometric representation of a building or for the occupant's movement simulation, during a building
evacuation process. To test both models, we develop a Multi-Agent Web Simulator Platform. The tests carried out show the suitability of the model approaches
herein presented.
