SimWalk 4.0 offers a new evacuation mod- ule, integrating a sophisticated “hazard” ob- ject to simulate panic situations and emer- gency evacuations due to fire, explosion or similar threats. The module allows to build a repulsive po- tential field around the hazard depending on physical conditions like heat, smoke or noise. You may define any number of emergency exits and assign it to a manual, random, or time controlled event. This event-driven architecture allows defining and associating events, conditions, and ac- tions to perform tasks like: - Close or open doors and gates - Disable escalators and elevators - Animated visual effects - Play sounds - Record videos - Take snapshots 1) New Evacuation Simulation Module www.simwalk.com Version 4.0 Version 4.0 introduces a new evacuation module with special features and emergency behaviour.

Version 4.0 introduces a new evacuation module with special features and emergency behaviour. Occup-tants react realistically to hazards like fires and explosions and choose emergency exits respectively. In addition, 4.0 offers new standard airport operational objects, pedestrian handicaps and accessories, Uni-code compliance and an improved drawing board.

To improve realistic simulation dynamics,SimWalk 4.0 now supports to subdivide plat-forms, boarding gates, etc. into several areaswherepassengersarewaitingontheirtranspor-tation.

This allows to assign a group of passengerseithertoasectorortoaplatformofthedesiredtransportformation.TheAgentsPlanBuilderwillthen build the plan as specifiedwith randomlydistributed agents inside the transfer area orvehiclesrespectively.
