Abstract
The Emergency Evacuation Simulation (EES) has been increasingly becoming a hotspot in the field of transportation. PSO-based EES is a good choice as its low computation complexity compared with some other algorithms, especially in an emergency. The selection of fitness function of each particle in PSO is a key problem for EES. This paper will introduce some fitness functions for EES and present a new fitness function called Triple-Distance Safe Degree (TDSD). Through theoretical analysis and experimental validation, the TDSD is proved to be much better than other fitness functions introduced in this paper.
