Abstract
Simulation program of human escape on board is made to search for escape safety of passenger ship. Escape area is described by networking of node-path-space system. It is assumed that human walk on path rationally and that individuals choose the shortest route to assemble station. The parts of the route on deck except where he is, is defined as virtual distance. This is psychological parameter. Six demonstrations on board are carried out to verify simulation program. Number of testees is 126, 88 or 76. Walking speed, maximum flux of human flow and escape time are measured by video pictures. Branching points of human flow are observed. After demonstration testees answer a questionnaire on their mental state at decision of route. For practical use simulation is compared with demonstration and good agreements are obtained.
