Publication: ICTE 2013: Safety, Speediness, Intelligence, Low-Carbon, Innovation

Abstract

Evacuation and rescue are more difficult for hospitals and other large gathering places; there are huge security risks lurking in the evacuation process. If a stampede occurred, it would delay the evacuation process and cause injury or death. Because hospitals have a large number of patients, the situation is even more special and complex; they should be fully prepared of the evacuation program and have prepared various emergency evacuation plans in advance. Therefore, the in-depth evacuation study of the hospital population has practical value. The modeling and evacuation flowchart are established, the simulation and analysis are calculated with evacuation time, personnel characteristics, the nurse service and the like by multimode evacuation ways, which include elevator, stairs, and combined ways. The result is compared with three ways, and a reasonable evacuation suggestion is presented based on multimode ways of floor building in the hospital.
