LITERATURE REVIEW Research on emergency evacuation of people first appeared in the 1960s
Summary
Emergencies in public spaces in China have occurred frequently in the 21st century. On January 2, 2008, three firefighters were killed and 1,046 businesses were destroyed after a fire broke out at Dehui International Plaza in Urumqi, Xinjiang. On December 31, 2014, there were 36 deaths and 49 injuries at the Shanghai Bund New Year’s event This series of events sounded an alarm for the Chinese population, demonstrating the social and political impact of emergencies. The evacuation of people in public places is an organic whole composed of many interrelated and interacting elements. The uncertainty caused by external and internal factors during the evacuation process of the people is considered, so agent-hybrid technology is considered to depict people’s behavior to make the model description more accurate. By integrating the agent-hybrid into the cellular automata model and considering the decisions of individuals and the interaction between individuals and the environment during the evacuation process, emergency evacuation theory can be enriched and emergency evacuation plans for public places can be improved.
