The UK 9/11 evacuation study: Analysis of survivors' recognition and response phase in WTC1
Paper resulted from EPSRC project HEED (GR/S74201/01, EP/D507790), a collaboration between Greenwich, Ulster, Liverpool Universities into 911. The project resulted in the development of the High-rise Evacuation Evaluation Database, a unique on-line database identifying human behaviour in high-rise evacuation. HEED is freely available to international researchers/engineers/legislators to explore and utilise in building design/research projects. The database was used by Dr Erica Kuligowski (erica.kuligowski@nist.gov) of NIST as the basis of her PhD. The techniques developed in HEED led to a new EU FP7 project BeSeCu (contract 218324, http://www.besecu.de/) concerned with evacuation behaviour in buildings and a new KTP (KTP009153, worth £180,000).
