| Abstract | Cities across the world are emphasizing the importance for strengthening resilience towards any emergency either natural or man made. Especially, of late with the advent of smart cities emergency planning is treated as the most crucial life saving service. For semi-outdoor (stadium, exhibition hall, etc.) and outdoor (fairs, etc.) setups the evacuation planning becomes particularly important due to, large area and relatively smaller number of exits, compared to a closed building. Most of the work in literature focuses on determining the optimum routes for large scale evacuation. However, even the exceptional evacuation plans can fail if the evacuation priorities are not chosen properly. In this paper, we have proposed a Risk Mapping for Strategic Evacuation (RMSE) algorithm that estimates the 'relative risk' associated with each pedestrian by considering their accessibility, vulnerability, behavioral and proximity characteristics. A mathematical model for the RMSE has been derived and shown for a specific case of stadium seating. RMSE algorithm generates a relative risk map corresponding to each pedestrian. This map can be used by the concerned authorities and the first respondents to efficiently handle the distress so that pedestrians at most risk are evacuated on priority. © 2019 IEEE. |
