Using RFID to Evaluate Evacuation Behavior Models

Overview This paper presents an object-oriented approach for using real-world location data for the evaluation of evacuation behavior models. When constructing a new building or planning how an existing one will be used, safe evacuation is extremely important. Currently many models exist to simulate a building evacuation, using information from the layout of rooms in conjunction with a model for human behavior. However, it is difficult to automatically validate these models.
