Abstract

Based on our previous work on Mobile Actuator and Sensor Network, Applied Fractional Calculus, Sensor Networks and BUMMPEE (Bottom-Up Modeling of Mass Pedestrian flows implications for the Effective Egress of individuals with disabilities), a general framework is proposed for modeling and managing Mass Pedestrian Evacuations (MPE) in this paper. A distinctive feature compared with previous work is the incorporation of Individuals with Disabilities (IwDs) in understanding modeling and control of mass pedestrians evacuations. Networked Segway Supported Responders (NSSR) have been firstly employed in the research of modeling and control/managing problem of crowd pedestrians as mobile sensors and mobile actuators. Future simulation and experimental results will be referenced for public policy professionals and planners for better evacuation policy making and route planning.
