Research on the Safety Evacuation near the Building Exit

The paper presents an improved cellular automaton model according to the feature of evacuation near the outlet. We studied friction and turning factors that affect pedestrian evacuation speed. By using mathematical methods to derive expressions of friction function and turning function. The average pedestrian outflow of the simulation that includes the effect of both the frictional function and the turning function agrees well with experiment result. On the contrary, the simulation results that only include the effect of the frictional function are not corresponding to the experiment results well. Simulation results show that friction and turning can not be ignored. By analyzing the simulation results, it verified that the model can accurately reflect the actual evacuation process and has practical value.
