Abstract :
This article deals with design of the system used to an evacuation plan simulation and evacuation management supported by evacuation route signs. Simulation of evacuation plans is a relatively complex problem. It is necessary to simulate a number of separate processes which interact together in the result. We chose Cellular automata as simulation environment. The advantage of using Cellular automata is in the possibility of debugging an individual processes. The data merger can create a simulation tool that will be easier to adjust for proper simulation of people evacuation in crisis situations.
