Abstract: Pedestrians escaping from the architecture are restricted by limited time and space. There are so many different exits, channels and bottleneck. Three kinds of facilities layout were designed to be initial schemes. The shortest escaping time was estimated by the different bottlenecks. Then, a safety escaping model based on the facilities layout and dynamic information was proposed, and the escaping time, area density and evacuation efficiency were analyzed by the simulation. The research indicates that by calculating and simulating the model can estimate the evacuation time for different schemes, and the result can provide some advices for facilities layout.

Key words: crowd evacuation, facilities layout, bottleneck, architecture
