APPLICATION OF MATHEMATICAL METHODS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES TO CALCULATE THE EVACUATION TIME OF PEOPLE FROM PUBLIC BUILDINGS IN THE EMERGENCY SITUATION

Abstract

In the modern world, with the active development of computer equipment and In the modern world with the active development of computer technology and information technologies, there is a need to improve the calculation methods used to assess the safety of people during an air raid or during shelling or fire. Therefore, this necessitates the development of algorithms for modeling the evacuation process using information systems, which are critically important for effective planning of evacuation measures in emergency situations, as they help collect, analyze and exchange data in real time, which contributes to quick decision-making and coordination of actions. In this case, it is possible to model various scenarios of events, determine optimal evacuation routes, taking into account various factors such as the number of people, the presence of obstacles, etc. In addition, information systems provide timely notification of the population about the threat and coordinate the actions of various services involved in the evacuation, which increases the efficiency and safety of evacuation measures.The article examines the principles of evacuating people from dangerous areas in the event of an emergency, analyzes the methods of calculating the evacuation time from structures and buildings. The authors found that the most suitable method for automating the subject area under consideration is the use of calculation based on human flows, which is based on calculating the density and intensity of movement of groups of people through areas of various types (horizontal paths, stairs, doorways). The practical value of such a method is to increase the speed of the evacuation process from a public building in the event of an emergency by automating the preliminary calculation of the evacuation time and the ways of carrying out evacuation measures.The use of such an approach will allow developing a clearer strategy for the behavior of rescuers when evacuating people from potentially dangerous areas.
