Abstract:

Aiming at the influence of group behavior and different evacuation methods on the passenger ship evacuation process. Three evacuation methods of passengers arriving at the assembly stations with and without group behavior are provided, and the passenger assembly time, congestion area, congestion timing and duration are analyzed. The simulation results show that the group behavior has a significant effect on the passenger assembly time and increases the variation range of the passenger assembly time, and the congestion area with and without group behavior remains the same. The influences of group behavior on the congestion timing and duration are complicated, which are associated with the location of the congestion area and the response time of the group members. Evacuation analysis on the passenger ship must consider the type and severity of the accidents. The study provides a theory and decision making support for the evacuation safety design and evaluation of the passengers in the large passenger ships.

Key words: passenger ship safety, social force model, agent model, congestion area, evacuation mode
