Abstract:

The fire accident is a major threat to the public safety, in which the high temperature, toxic and harmful gases seriously interfer the selection of the evacuation routes. Deep reinforcement learning is introduced into the research of emergency evacuation simulation, and a cooperative double deep Q network algorithm is proposed for the multi-agent environment. A fire scene model that changes dynamically over time is established to provide the real-time information on the distribution of the dangerous areas for the evacuation. The independent agent neural networks are integrated and the multi-agent unified deep neural network is established to realize the sharing of the neural network and experience among all agents, and improve the overall cooperative evacuation efficiency. The experimental comparison results show that the proposed method has the good stability and adaptability, improved training and learning efficiency, and good application value.

Key words: cooperative double deep Q network algorithm, deep reinforcement learning, multi-agent system, emergency evacuation simulation, fire scenario simulation
