Abstract
The purpose of this study is to discuss the accuracy of simulation of evacuation training. The investigation of evacuation training, which was held assuming a fire in the dormitory of Wakayama National College of Technology, was carried out. About 500 students participated. The investigation is based mainly on the analysis of videotapes which were recorded by the security cameras installed in the dormitory and the video camera set up near the palce of refuge. The relationship of time and the number of evacuees that pass through some selected points is analyzed. Simulation of evacuation both inside and outside of the dormitory based on CA (Cellular Automata) is performed, and the results are compared with the investigation.
