In dynamically changing and harsh disaster environments, such as the spread of fire, evacuation guidance systems must be adaptive and distributed to ensure continued functionality even in the event of partial system destruction or malfunction. This study introduces an efficient evacuation guidance method tailored for scenarios involving the spread of fire, utilizing distributed graph-based optimization algorithms. The proposed method aims to minimize total evacuation time while simultaneously directing the crowd away from the fire, all without relying on a central control mechanism.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the method, an integrated simulation model encompassing fire spread, evacuation agents, and evacuation guidance signs has been developed. Simulation experiments show that the proposed method provides efficient evacuation guidance in a dynamic environment.
