Abstract
A fire evacuation model was developed based on cellular automata (CA) to simulate occupant evacuation behaviors in case of public place fires, which can reflect individual characteristics, herd behaviors and the environmental effects on the evacuation behavior. The fire safety evacuation simulation software based on the model was programmed by c# language on the platform of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. The occupant evacuation process in fire scenario was displayed through the software, and the simulation came with the same result with actual situation. This software, with intuitive, flexible and extendable, has realized the anticipated functions, such as generating fire scenario, simulating evacuation behaviors and managing legal norms of fire safety. Furthermore, it provides a platform for further research on fire safety evacuation in public places.
