Optimal Location Model And Algorithm Of The Emergency Exits

Abstract

In evacuation, the emergency exits are important. The exit’s location is a key which decides the success of evacuation. So how to build the emergency exits is worth to researching. In this paper, the effect of the emergency exit and main door are considered. The emergency exit’s ordinate is defined as the independent variable. Then a model of exits is proposed and the golden section algorithm is used to find the most suitable location. At last, it is verified that the method is effective and feasible.
