  • Abstract
    As for the emergency evacuation issues under the circumstance of unexpected disasters, based on the analysis and comparison of existing evacuation models, this paper puts forward a new occupant evacuation model. This model introduces quantitative formula which reflects people´s tension degree in panic into social force model, and it takes into account the influence of individual´s mass behavior to the choice of objectives. Using the simulation software, Anylogic, to simulate the Occupant Evacuation model, this paper indicates that panic affects the dispersal efficiency to some extent, which provides theoretical basis for guidance of occupant evacuation under emergency situations.
