摘要

Simulation of indoor fire personnel evacuation is of great significance for building design and human security. Based on the theory of Cellular Automata (CA), a new fire evacuation model for indoor buildings is proposed and the corresponding numerical program is developed. Through simulation with a three-room house with a corridor, it is found that the proposed model can effectively simulate personnel evacuation during a fire, demonstrating that it is potentially a powerful tool to find the "bottleneck" in fire evacuation.
