Simulation of the evacuation process at various economic facilities using the Anylogic software product

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of evacuation of people in case of emergency situations. Modeling of the process of evacuation of people from premises is quite new and one of the most promising tools for planning the organization of pedestrian flows in emergency situations, for predicting problems arising during the evacuation of people, and ultimately for saving human lives. The experimental model was developed using the AnyLogic simulation tool. An office space was chosen as the object of research, where the evacuation mode was simulated and the experiment was conducted. The average evacuation time of each person and the total exit time, as well as the intensity of the human flow at the entrance and exit of the building are calculated. A hypothesis about the influence of time of day on the duration of evacuation was put forward and proved. It is concluded that the built model provides the necessary information for predicting the fire situation in office premises and, as a result, the possibility of their elimination, as well as in agricultural planning and Economics.
