Research on coupling evacuation of escalator and staircase in fire scenario. by Chunhua Zhang, Xin Wu, Hai Shen

“…The available safe evacuation time of each evacuation exit was explored by analyzing the smoke transport, temperature, CO concentration and visibility of each floor of the mall under different fire source locations when the fire shutter was lowered to 1.8m from the ground. Then, the evacuation model of mall personnel under fire scenario was built by using Anylogic to compare and analyze the evacuation time of mall personnel using escalators coupled with stairs and stairs only, and analyze the evacuation time of personnel using escalators coupled with stairs when the fire shutter at the escalator is down to 1.8m from the ground and when the fire shutter is not down. …”
