Abstract

Last few decades witnessed the occurrence of various natural and man-made disasters that were difficult to control, thereby leading to heavy casualties. To overcome these, preventive measures like the design of the building, coordinated pre-planning, etc., needs to be done. To reduce the casualties during fire disaster and to enhance the evacuation efficiency, it is important to consider the impact of factors which influence the evacuation. The effect of human and fire factors depend on strategies used for evacuation in the building architecture. This paper presents a method for fast crowd evacuation and safety management, thereby improving the efficiency of evacuation.
