- buildingEXODUS egress model; deterioration of environmental conditions; approach to implementing crawling data into buildingEXODUS; two calculations are made independently of each other and then compared; fire calculations can be made and then implicitly represented within the egress calculation; calculated development of the fire is imported into the egress calculation; incorporation of fire data into egress models; reduction factors derived from the Muhdi data; walking speeds; egress times for crawlers derived from the Nagai data; projected impact on attainable travel speeds of an evacuee being exposed to smoke in buildingEXODUS; test scenarios A.1- C.2 as a result of varying exit widths and crawling reduction factors; buildingEXODUS test cases based on Muhdi's reduction factors; comparison between simulated egress times; physical component of crawling behavior; interaction between the work presented here and a general crawling model
