Abstract

Based on the Thunderhead Engineering PyroSim, the author established a high-speed rail model. For the narrow and crowded features of high-speed rail space, the article simulated the evacuation of different personnel ratios, the opening of doors at different locations and different proportions of people who take the baggage, and analyzed the simulation results. The simulation results show that when the proportion of the elderly in the population increases, the evacuation speed of people becomes slower, and the outlet is more likely to be congested during the evacuation process. The opening of doors at different locations has a great impact on evacuation efficiency. When the proportion of people with luggage in the crowd increases, congestion is likely to occur at the exits and aisles, and the evacuation time becomes longer. The article truly simulates the evacuation of high-speed rail personnel in emergency situations. The results of this study can provide theoretical guiding for the comprehensive development of high-speed rail.
