The negative consequence of fire, especially fire in public
buildings, brings too much of lost in both human and money.
The fire evacuation specialists proposed many evacuate
techniques, methods and policies adapting to the given
building, groups of people, or situations. However, conducting
experiments to test these proposed solutions, in the reality, is
nearly impossible. Therefore, simulation of fire and fire
evacuation to evaluate these proposals is a reasonable solution.
This paper proposes an agent-based model for modeling and
simulation of fire evacuation in public buildings. The model is
implemented and tested using the GAMA agent-based
simulation platform.
