Abstract
Since the restaurant on cruise ships are filled with large numbers of passengers at mealtimes, the crowd in high-density may take the risk when they evacuate from the restaurant in emergent cases. The size of exits usually has a certain impact on the efficiency of passenger evacuation. It is necessary to study the correlation between the sizes of exits and evacuation efficiency, which could help to reasonably design the sizes of exits to ensure the safety of passengers. The AnyLogic software is used to establish the spatial model of the restaurant, and the sizes of restaurant exits are set as the independent variable. Then the evacuation performance of heterogeneous passengers under different exit sizes is simulated. The simulation results show that the evacuation time increases as the width of exits decreases, and the evacuation time of passengers is highly sensitive to the width of exits when the width is less than 3m.
