An active shooting emergency requires an effective strategy to increase the chances of survival attacked population. Educational environments are one most common locations such events. To reduce impact these disasters, several plans have been developed and put in place. Traditionally, taught occupants using non-interactive videos, drills, etc. However, conventional methods present many limitations regarding trainees' knowledge acquisition, engagement self-efficacy. overcome them, this paper...

Purpose This paper aims to focus on the combination of fire- and agent-based modelling approaches assess level safety a multi-storeyed building case study. Design/methodology/approach For an existing be occupied such as engineering student dormitory Mons (Belgium), engineers must establish, among other things, that affords sufficient during fire incident. can verified in accordance with prescriptive- performance-based methodologies. The approach consists using simulation tools dynamics...
Assessing the fire safety of buildings is fundamental to reduce impact this threat on their occupants. Such an assessment can be done by combining existing models and knowledge how occupants behave during fires. Although many studies have been carried out for several types built environment, only few those investigate healthcare facilities hospitals. In study, we present a new behavioural data-set hospital evacuations. The data was collected from North Shore Hospital in Auckland (NZ)...
In the event of a fire emergency in built environment, occupants face range evacuation decisions, including choice exits. An important question from standpoint safety is how evacuees make these choices and what factors affect their choices. Understanding humans weigh (often) competing essential knowledge for planning safe design. Here, we use immersive Virtual Reality (VR) experiments to investigate, controlled settings, trade-offs are made using empirical data econometric models. each VR...
