DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ALGORITHM FOR CALCULATING EMERGENCY EVACUATION DURATION ACCORDING TO A SIMPLIFIED ANALYTICAL MODEL

Abstract

The object of research – models and methods of algorithmization and software implementation of the evacuation duration calculation during a fire.

The purpose of the work is to study the existing models and means of calculating the duration of evacuation in case of fire, to develop an algorithm for calculating the duration of evacuation according to a simplified analytical model and software implementation of the algorithm.

An analytical review of modern software packages for calculating the duration of evacuation of people from buildings and structures during a fire, their advantages and disadvantages has been held. It has been found that there is no work in Ukraine to create such software products. This state of affairs testifies to the urgency of this work.

Models and methods of algorithmization and software implementation of the evacuation duration calculation during a fire have been investigated. The simplified mathematical model has been taken as a basis for calculations. An algorithm for calculating the duration of evacuation during a fire has been developed for this model. The possibilities of movement of agents in horizontal sections, stairs, through doorways have been taken into account.

The program on the Java FX platform for calculating the duration of the evacuation has been developed. The work of the program has been tested on a specific example. The results are comparable to similar results obtained with the known software package Simulex.

The obtained results can be used in the future for domestically produced software complexes development., as well as for the development of software solutions for employees of civil defense agencies and units, in particular chatbots.
