In this paper, an acceleration based passenger evacuation simulation is performed. In order to describe a passenger‘s behavior in an evacuation situation, a passenger is modeled as a rigid body which translates in the horizontal plane and rotates along the vertical axis. The position and rotation angle of a passenger are calculated by solving the dynamic equations of motions at each time step. The destination force, the contact force, and the group force are considered as external forces and the moments due to each force are also considered. With the passenger model proposed in this paper, the test problems in International Maritime Organization, Maritime Safety Committee/Circulation 1238(IMO MSC/Circ.1238) are implemented and the effects of passenger rotation on the evacuation time are confirmed.

In the present study, a numerical simulation of passenger evacuation in a subway station was performed. Algorithm for passenger flow analysis based on DEM(Discrete Element Method) has been improved to simulate passenger flow in detailed geometry. The effect of grid density was assessed in the present study to show the advantage of using finer grid in the simulation. The method of coupling passenger flow and fire simulation has also been investigated to analyze passenger evacuation flow under fire. In this method the CO distributions in the subway station was used to assess fire hazards of passenger by means of FED(Fractional Effective Dose) model. Using the coupled algorithm a simulation for passenger evacuation flow and fire analysis were performed simultaneously in the simplified subway station. This algorithm could be used in the design of subway station for the purpose of passengers' safety in case of fire.

본 논문은 규칙기반 에이전트를 이용하여 여객선 화재시 피난행동특성을 고려한 승객행동모델을 제안한다. 기존 시스템들은 승객의 속도만을 반영한 속도기반모델을 사용하였다. 속도기반모델은 승객의 신체적 특징만 고려한 모델로 피난행동특성을 반영하기 어렵다. 이 문제점을 해결하기 위해 규칙기반 에이전트로 피난행동특성을 반영한 승객모델을 모델링하였다. 규칙기반 에이전트는 지식베이스와 추론엔진으로 구성된다. 지식베이스에는 피난행동특성들 중에서 다양한 행동 패턴을 보여줄 수 있는 예제를 선택하여 규칙형태의 지식으로 표현하고, 추론엔진은 지식을 전방추론하여 승객의 행위를 결정하도록 구현하였다. 이승객모델을 IMO MSC/Circ.1238의 문제 8에 적용하여 시뮬레이션을 진행한 결과 규칙기반 에이전트로 모델링한 승객이 다양한 인간의 행동 패턴을 표현할 수 있음을 검증하였다.

This paper presents a simulation for passenger ship evacuation considering the inclination of a ship. In order to describe a passenger's behavior in an evacuation situation, a passenger is modeled as a rigid body which translates in the horizontal plane and rotates along the vertical axis. The position and rotation angle of a passenger are calculated by solving the dynamic equations of motions at each time step. To calculate inclined angle of damaged ship, static equilibrium equations of damaged ship are derived using "added weight method". Using these equations, physical external forces due to the inclination of a ship act on the body of each passenger. The crowd behavior of the passenger is considered as the flock behavior, a form of collective behavior of a large number of interacting passengers with a common group objective. Passengers can also avoid an obstacle due to penalty forces acting on their body. With the passenger model and forces acting on its body, the test problems in International Maritime Organization, Maritime Safety Committee/Circulation 1238(IMO MSC/Circ.1238) are implemented and the effects of ship's inclination on the evacuation time are confirmed.

There have been many accidents of passenger ships on the sea and they have caused a big loss of human lives. Maritime Safety Committee(MSC) of International Maritime Organization(IMO) made evacuation analysis of Ro-Ro passenger ships mandatory in order to save as many lives as possible at the time of accident. But this is a temporary regulation and HSC/IMO ties to introduce a performance-based regulation to improve the effect of regulation. Simulation-based evacuation analysis is the basis of performance-based regulation. In this paper, we performed a simulation-based evacuation analysis on a passenger ship, which is usually used in the plying between land and islands in Korea, with EXODUS system. Through inspecting the results from this analysis in more detail, we can make a proposal to improve the safety of passenger ship. Finally we describe the features of IMEX(Intelligent Model for Extrication Simulation), a new evacuation model being developed in KRISO.

In this paper some sets of numerical simulations for passenger evacuation in a fire occurred underground station under various smoke-control ventilation modes. Passenger evacuation flows are calculated by EXODUS program. As input data for EXODUS program, distributions of temparature, smoke and toxicity due to fire in the underground station are evaluated by Fire Dyanamic Simulator (FDS).

2003년 대구지하철 중앙역에서 화재사고로 인한 화재 유동 및 승객 피난시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 화재의 발화 지점은 지하 3층의 객차 내이며, 지하 3층 및 2층의 화재 유동이 FLUENT 6.2를 이용하여 수행되었다. 객차 내 및 역사 내의 CO (이산화탄소) 및 온도의 분포가 분석되었으며, 이의 data가 피난 시뮬례이션 data로 사용되었다. 해석된 온도장중 가장 높은 온도는 1500k 이다. 승객 피난 시뮬레이션을 인하여 EXODUS가 사용되었으며, 객차 내에 640명, 역사 내에 360명의 승객이 분포하고 있는 것으로 가정하고 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 층 135명이 사망하고, 평균 피난 시간은 10분 19초로 계산되었으며, 피난 경로들이 분석이 되었다.

본 논문에서는 여객선의 승객 비상 탈출 시뮬레이션을 구현하였다. 승객의 행동에 미치는 요인 중 연령, 성별을 고려하여 승객 개인의 보행 속도에 반영하는 속도 기반 모델을 사용하였다. 승객들의 집단 이동을 구현하기 위해 플로킹 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 장애물과의 충돌 회피 및 승객 간의 위치가 겹치는 현상을 방지하기 위해 페널티 보행 속도를 도입하였다. 이 알고리즘을 이용하여 여객선의 승객 탈출 규정인 IMO (International Maritime Organization) MSC (Maritime Safety Committee) Circ.1238에서 정의한 11가지 시험 문제에 적용하였다. 시험 문제를 통해 승객의 위치가 겹치는 현상이 없이 시뮬레이션 되는 것을 확인하였다.

A numerical simulation of passenger evacuation in a subway station was performed by coupling the passenger flow analysis and the fire simulation. The algorithm of the passenger flow analysis was based on a DEM (Discrete Element Method) using the potential map of the direction vector for each passenger. This algorithm was improved in the present study as to use finer grid smaller than a passenger in order to resolve detailed geometry of the station and to resolve the behavior of passengers in the bottleneck at the ticket gate considering the collision of passengers to a wall or with other passengers. In the fire simulation, the CO distribution predicted by using CFD was used to take into account the effect of toxic gases on the passengers' mobility. The methodology proposed in the present study could be used in designing safer subway station in case of fire occurrence.

Urban transits of metropolises have been used by many citizens due to the merits of environment friendly traffic, mass transportation, safety and scheduled operation. It is very important to keep safety for the increased passengers. When the accidents as like fire occur, rapid evacuation from fire site is one of the most effective methods to decrease casualties. Furthermore, overseas buyers sometimes request the verification results of the passenger evacuation from rolling stock. In this study, algorithm for passenger flow analysis based on DEM(Discrete Element Method) is newly developed and made simulation program package. And, we applied it to the evacuation problem for urban transits. By using the developed program, we compared the simulation results of the effects of the location and size of door and elapsed time qualitatively and quantitatively.
