Abstract

Building Fire Rescue with Evacuation Management Information System (BFREMIS) is established. And the evacuation model of BFREMIS was analyzed and presented in this paper. Based on the constructed network model, the evacuation of the teaching building in the university was analyzed by using the software EVACNET4. The analysis items included: the total evacuation time, the floor clear time, evacuation bottleneck, and the visual path of the evacuation on MAPGIS platform. BFREMIS is valuable in building safety assessment and building fire rescue.
