- Abstract
- EVACNET+ is a user-friendly interactive computer program that allows the modeling of emergency building evacuations. An EVACNET+ model is a network consisting of a set of nodes connected by arcs. The nodes represent building components such as rooms, halls, landings, stairs and lobbies. The arcs represent the passageways between the building components. The program identifies optimal evacuation plans for user defined buildings.
