Modification of Evacuation Time Computational Model for Stadium Crowd Risk Analysis

The complexity of the evacuation process is associated with the flow of occupants through various egresses available inside the building. Several methods and algorithms are now available to analyse the problem related to evacuation. In the present paper an algorithm, evacuation discrete time model (EDTM) has been presented to analyse the building egress evacuation time problem with previous works. The algorithm is based on the crowd flow theory and uses discrete computational approach to identify various widths of egresses available for movement of the people, which is more accurate and practicable because the crowd flow rate is variable. The developed model has been compared with an existing model to show the capabilities of the developed algorithm. A case of stadium stand egress is chose for the validity of EDTM, and a comparison of EDTM, previous model and computer simulation indicates that both the EDTM and the simulation curves were found to give better predictions than the previous model. Based upon the comparison analysis with stranded crowd and evacuation crowd at a certain time, EDTM shows great value in explaining the cause of stampede-trampling and crushing incident of egress or narrow passage zone.

The contribution of community wisdom to conservation ecology

Scientists have traditionally collected data on whether a population is increasing, decreasing, or staying the same, but such studies are often limited by geographic scale and time frame. This means that for many species, understanding of trends comes from only part of their ranges at particular periods. Working with citizen scientists has the potential to overcome these limits. Citizen science has the added benefit of exposing citizens to the scientific process and engaging them in management outcomes. We examined a different way of using citizen scientists (instead of data collection). We asked community members to answer a question directly and thus examined whether community wisdom can inform conservation. We reviewed the results of 3 mail‐in surveys that asked community members to say whether they thought koala populations were increasing, decreasing, or staying the same. We then compared the survey results with population trends derived from more traditional research. Population trends identified through community wisdom were similar to the trends identified by traditional research. The community wisdom surveys, however, allowed the question to be addressed at much broader geographical scales and time frames. Studies that apply community wisdom have the benefit of engaging a broad section of the community in conservation research and education and therefore in the political process of conserving species.

为提高国际上通用的疏散时间模型(简称经验模型)的仿真度,将人员的属性因素(自然属性和社会属性)影响纳入时间模型,采用回归分析方法,以某高校大型大学生艺术中心疏散案例为研究基础,通过调查采样建立185组数据的实测样本。结合影响人员疏散行为和疏散时间相关因素,运用统计软件SPSS17.0对样本进行回归分析,建立疏散时间回归模型。以回归模型为基础,将个体属性综合为群集属性,求取修正系数并对经验模型进行修正、检验。结果表明:利用回归分析和修正系数对疏散时间经验模型进行修正,可有效弥补经验模型缺乏考虑群集属性影响的弱点,提高经验模型的仿真度和应用价值。

为研究从众行为对人群疏散效率的影响,建立考虑从众阈值和主体特征的人群疏散元胞自动机模型,通过引入从众阈值反映人群中不同个体的从众选择程度,耦合每个主体不同特征属性、不同人员认知能力导致的疏散从众选择差异,利用元胞自动机模拟人群运动状态及动态演化过程,探究从众行为对人群疏散过程的作用规律。结果表明:人群疏散中选择从众行为的人员比例与整体疏散效率存在对应关系,本模型原始工况下,当人群中约60%的人员做出从众选择时,疏散效率相对最优。     

事故类型因子对人群聚集风险影响的综合度量

公共场所事故以人群聚集为条件,人群风险的控制和减缓不同于一般工业危险源风险,不确定性和随机性大,风险触发因子较多,难以控制.将人群聚集风险影响因子归结为心理扰动因素和物理扰动因素两大类,并用综合扰动强度表示两者之和.通过对公共场所内火灾、爆炸、中毒、结构失效以及人群拥挤踩踏5类事故统计资料的分析表明,5个影响因子满足林德伯格条件,依据中心极限定理,综合扰动强度可以近似用1个正态分布加以描述.以火灾事故发生的研究作为基础,推广到其余4个因子,通过李雅普诺夫定理得出公共场所中综合扰动强度的概率密度函数,并通过傅立叶级数将其表征为多个余弦函数的线性组合,并根据统计资料进行了实例分析.最终该方法可以通过某一类型公共场所的事故发生次数,得到统计平均意义下,该场所周边环境存在的各种扰动因素对聚集人群影响的大小.
