Abstract
The internal layout of the classroom has an important impact on the efficiency of crowd evacuation. To enable the crowd to evacuate in the shortest possible time, this paper proposes an improved evacuation model. We analyze the crowd evacuation efficiency of different classroom layouts based on this model and propose a layout strategy. First, this paper improves the static field calculation method of the evacuation model and proposes a fast static field calculation method to improve calculation efficiency. Second, we conducted evacuation tests on 10 classroom internal layouts to verify the effectiveness of the evacuation model. Finally, based on the evacuation test results of 10 classroom layouts, we evaluated the effectiveness of these 10 layouts and analyzed them and put forward classroom interior layout suggestions, such as expanding classroom exits and increasing classroom wall passages.
