Abstract
The human behavior characteristics in the emergency evacuation, the features and the principles of Building EXODUS were introduced here through summarizing all kinds of evacuation models and methods so far developed both at home and abroad. Finally an example is given to show how to simulate emergency evacuation by Building EXODUS software. Results show that the study of evacuation behavior needs some knowledge of psychology and sociology, and the human behavior characteristics cannot be all included by evacuation models, thus the simulating evacuation models should be more comprehensive and more standard. The function of Building EXODUS software in simulating the behaviors of human is reliable and easy to find the bottleneck phenomenon at the exit, and the evacuation time can be decreased through changing the width of the door or giving some guidance to the evacuees.
