Representing evacuation behavior in engineering terms
This paper covered material produced from discussions at ISO TC92/SC4/WG1 regarding the development of occupant scenarios (rfahy@nfpa.org, Dr. Fahy, Manager of Fire Data Bases, NFPA). This provided a framework for developing evacuation scenarios during engineering analysis. The authors originally contributed concepts to committee meetings and then developed them further here. This work has been embedded within broader guidance produced by National Institute of Standards and Technology (Robbins, A et al, Proposed General Approach to Fire-Safety Scenarios, Technical Report, NIST, G2012-0371, 2012), with the effort continuing at BRANZ (Amanda.Robbins@branz.co.nz, Dr.A.Robbins, Senior Fire Research Engineer, Building Research Association of New Zealand).
