Journal ArticleDOI
A multi-agent based framework for the simulation of human and social behaviors during emergency evacuations
TL;DR: This paper presents a multi-agent based framework for simulating human and social behavior during emergency evacuation, which is able to demonstrate some emergent behaviors, such as competitive, queuing, and herding behaviors.

Fire suppression by water sprays
G. Grant,J. Brenton,D. Drysdale +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive literature review conducted within Edinburgh University's Fire Safety Engineering Group and sponsored by the UK Home Office Fire Research and Development Group was conducted to establish the current state-of-the-art regarding the use of water sprays for the suppression and extinguishment of typical (Class ‘A) compartment fires and to identify where gaps exist in the current knowledge.
Journal ArticleDOI
The global equivalence ratio concept and the formation mechanisms of carbon monoxide in enclosure fires
TL;DR: In this article, a large number of investigations designed to characterize the formation of carbon monoxide (CO) in enclosure fires are reviewed. But, these conditions do not include the types of fires which are responsible for the majority of fire deaths in building fires.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex evacuation; effects of motivation level and slope of stairs on emergency egress time in a sports stadium
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discussed the effect of the motivation of people to move and the slope of stairs on the capacity of a walkway and compared the advantages of using a mean value over the use of a maximum value and thus of using an average over a minimum evacuation time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Average centreline temperatures of a buoyant pool fire obtained by image processing of video recordings
TL;DR: In this paper, a standard video camera is used to obtain an average centreline temperature distribution of simulated pool fires, and characteristic length scales are extracted from the flame images by using a novel technique.
