Recent fire accidents and terrorist events have highlighted that further work can be done to
improve the safety of buildings during fire evacuations. To date, several evacuation models …

The paper shows the findings of fire simulation for various types of vehicles located in
different longitudinal positions within a road tunnel. This is an issue that researchers have …

The assessment of life safety in case of a building fire is based on the comparison of the
available safe egress time (ASET) and the required safe egress time (RSET). With regards to …

Evacuation model capabilities are rapidly improving, allowing the simulation of ever more
complex scenarios in different types of environments. The definition of the best evacuation …
