Agent-based fire priority evacuation simulationSummary—In the event of a fire, the safe and healthy evacuation of people from A complex or multi-story building is the top priority to protect human lives. A number of case studies, simulations and virtual reality systems have been developed in the past to define safer evacuation methodologies. The majority of evacuation models, including relevant simulations and virtual reality systems developed so far, are mainly used to educate and guide residents of complexes and high-rise buildings on how to follow the egress route. safer in the event of fire. But these methodologies suffer from a drawback: it is not possible to train everyone who has never visited the building before. In the event of such an incident, the evacuation of visitors and other people unfamiliar with the building plans becomes very difficult. Agent-based technology can mimic human presence at different locations and assess the intensity of a disaster at specific and respective positions. This approach can effectively help design different evacuation plans based on assigning priority to those near the disaster point. It can also control the problem of people being congested at some exit points during evacuation, especially for buildings with few exit points. We strive to propose the design of an agent-based decision support system (DSS) for rapid and prioritized evacuation methodology during fires. A simulation based on a case study was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed priority evacuation.
