Transportation designs for building evacuation
Evacuation is currently based on using stairs in most tall buildings. in planning stairs, the height of the building is not considered. This leads to long evacuation in times in high-rise and mega high-rise buildings. The planning of elevators in most tall buildings such as off ices, hotels and apartment houses, is based on up peak. No planning criteria for the evacuation time are defined. A risk and threat analysis of the desired security level is one way to set a goal for the evacuation times. Evacuation goals should be established early in the planning phase of a building project, which in turn sets requirements on the buildings spatial organization and its structural and automation systems. In this article, different scenarios of evacuation are introduced. Definition and the process of the evacuation concept are discussed. Analytical equations to calculate evacuation times are shown. Simulation is a useful tool for determining the safest and most evacuation concept In the KONG Building Traffic Simulator (BTS), vertical transportation is configured using actual elevator group control algorithms. Stairs and horizontal movement are also included. Staircases and elevators are compared for some scenarios, and the fastest transportation means are investigated. Evacuation scenarios with different elevator arrangements and control principles are also studied.
