Abstract

we proposed a methodology for modeling and optimizing evacuation systems in modern multi-use buildings, taking into account how occupants are distributed across floors and how evacuation routes can be dynamically updated to reflect changing conditions. We reviewed existing approaches to occupant estimation, graph-based and agent-based movement models, and methods for integrating sensor data into dynamic route planning. We performed numerical simulations of several evacuation scenarios. The results show that adaptive routing reduces total evacuation time and helps prevent local crowding. We also discussed practical implementation issues, including system visualization, fault tolerance, and compliance with safety regulations. Finally, we provided recommendations for the design and operation of evacuation systems in modern buildings.
