Reading time


Test Description

This test confirms that people start moving according to the given evacuation start time. The scenario is a room of 8x5 meters with one exit 1 meter wide. There are 10 people randomly distributed in the room and for each person the evacuation start time is set from 10 seconds to 100 seconds (in increments of 10 seconds).

Figure. 1.

Expected results

People start moving according to the set evacuation start time.

Simulation results

The table below shows the evacuation start time, evacuation time and movement time for each person. It can be seen that the movement time for all people is about the same, indicating that each person started moving according to their evacuation start time.
