Fire evacuation simulation for buildings has greatly enhance the safety of escaping efficiently and give valuable insight for better layout permutation. The aim of this article is to evaluate the safety risk of fire evacuation given a random chance that emergency exits are obstructed. A case study of evacuation pathway was evaluated against fire safety codes and practices in Malaysia. AnyLogic was used to simulate fire evacuation, assuming peak occupancy, with three randomly obstructed emergency exit pathways. Results show that though the floorplan fulfils safety criteria, the risk was high which requires adjustment. Monte Carlo analysis indicates the performance of risk of obstruction of all three
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
