Abstract

Aiming at the complex environment of ship emergency evacuation, the effects of obstacles, number of export, position of stairs and person speed on individual personnel evacuation route were considered, and a combination method of manipulation behavior and improved A* algorithm was proposed to realize multi-targets routing and crowd evacuation on multi-decks. The anticipation module was introduced for every virtual person to detect obstacles and motions of other virtual persons, and take evasive actions. Unity 3D was used to achieve the simulation of 3D visualization of evacuation process, and the data statistics and analysis of the evacuation process were carried out. Simulation results are close to actual evacuation process.
