jaue2016118: Analysis of Route Selection Probability through the Maze-set Experiment

Abstract

Fire accidents in such complex building are accompanied by big damage as it was seen in the Daegu subway fire in Korea. Therefore, such building construction has a huge potential risk and proper evacuation strategy must be formulated. When people evacuate a building in a disaster situation, such as a fire or earthquake, they are faced with various situations. The one of which is the wayfinding in the evacuation situation. In particular, the occupants now need to select a route that incorporates the increasing complexity in building structures, which has led to route selection failure gradually becoming more likely. These studies were performed in a building. Therefore, the characteristics of the building were influenced by a pedestrian. Therefore, in this study, we produce the two maze-set to minimize the external influence. And we perform the experiments and analyse the probability of the route selection according to the form of junction through the experimental result.
