The Critical Cluster Model (CCM) is an optimization model assessing the evacuation risk on the scale of neighborhoods.The static evacuation risk in the CCM is measured by Bulk Lane Demand (BLD)-an index that solely de...
Occupant pre-evacuation time is often oversimplified into an explicit value in evacuation calculation. In fact, it is not an explicit value but a random variable following some kind of probability distribution. In ord...

By applying the rules set in traffic flow and pedestrian flow models, a basic cellular automata model is presented to simulate occupant evacuation in fire. Some extended models are introduced to study the special phen...
