Basic principle for the solution of the building evacuation problem
Abstract: Nowadays, there
exist different offers to find the solution of the building evacuation problem.
As we analyze in the state of the art, this problem can be studied from
different perspectives and even as a problem of optimization considering
different objectives. We can wonder on which is the most suitable formulation
and the response can be as confusing as saying that it depends on our aims. The
more important things to study the ideal building evacuation, understood as the
distribution of the occupants towards the exits that achieves the minimal
evacuation time, are the valid principles for any formulation of the problem.
One of them appears in the present work. To expose the principle, we use
graphical procedures that are applied to the optimization of the enclosure
evacuation. In the exposed procedure, speeds and constant flows of traffic are
considered to model the movement of the persons. Ways and possible delays in
the beginning of the bulging evacuation are studied
