“…Previous studies usually assume that crowding makes evacuation planning similar to that of a normal situation (Hobeika and Kim, 1998;Prato, 2009). However, in contrast to crowd dynamics, evacuation dynamics emphasizes the issue of mass behaviour (e.g., self-organization, route choice, herd behaviour, and crowd merging (Han et al, 2017;Liu and Mao, 2022;Sano et al, 2017;Wang et al, 2022a;Xie et al, 2019;Yi et al, 2020)) at high densities in an emergency situation or under a stress condition (e.g., panic or anger) (Dong et al, 2019). Inevitably, evacuation dynamics, evacuees' preference diversity, and traffic states have to be considered when developing evacuation plans.…”

“…Due to the increase of maritime trade, traffic density and ship size, maritime transport is facing new challenges related to safety [4,5]. As a mode of maritime transport, passenger ship transport is listed as the fourth largest mode of passenger transport after bus, rail and air [6,7]. Although modern passenger ships are equipped with advanced accident prevention systems, passenger ship accidents still occur from time to time, as shown in Table 1, and many of which have caused a large number of casualties [8,9].…”

“…Furthermore, the evacuation movement of personnel is more likely to be affected by falling obstacles, ship listing and other adverse factors, resulting in the evacuation process being more complex or more dangerous [10,21,22]. • Finally, the degree of familiarity of passengers on HEPS is usually not high, since passengers are not familiar with the whole process of evacuating from the ship by lifeboat or life raft, which brings great threats to the evacuation process, such as personnel panic and crowding [6,23].…”

Cruise ships are large and complex, and it is difficult to manually make a plan to evacuate people to safe areas in a short time. Evacuation time and personnel safety are both important for emergency evacuation. This paper proposes an evacuation strategy that considers the path capacity and risk level to guide evacuees in fire; it not only ensures the safety of people on dangerous paths but also reduces road congestion to shorten evacuation time. High crowd density means slow moving speed, an exponential function including straight path and stairs speed characteristics is proposed to illustrate the relationship between crowd density and moving speed. Path capacity constraints are used to avoid the congestion caused by the evacuees in a panic. In order to evacuate the evacuees in the risk areas as soon as possible, this paper divides the path into three risk levels according to carbon monoxide concentration, visibility, and temperature along the paths. The people on the higher-risk paths are given higher priority to enter evacuation paths than those on lower risk. The priority strategy evacuates the people on risk paths to safe areas in less time. This paper models the evacuation network topology of a cruise ship and simulates the evacuation process of some situations that have different numbers of evacuees and path capacity constraints. The evacuation strategies and simulation results are guidelines for the crews to guide the people to evacuate to safe areas when there is a fire accident on the cruise ship.
