The Use of Advanced Evacuation Modelling For Building Design - Santander 2011

Another year is approaching the end and it's time to go to Santander and participate to the annual workshop organized by the GIDAI group. The topic of this year is "Evacuation and Human Behaviour in Emergency Situation". I am going to present the paper "The Use of Advanced Evacuation Modelling For Building Design" written with the help of my colleagues Jimmy Jönsson, Felipe Herrera and Dermot O'Donnell.

The intention of the paper is to explain how advanced and productive evacuation modelling tools have developed and how they have been wisely used to improve the design of singular projects. The paper also identifies the important aspects to keep in mind when performing this kind of modelling. I will present examples of evacuation modelling done using STEPS, Legion and MassMotion for a 40 storey high-rise building, a large sports arena and a shopping centre containing existing heritage protected structures.
