Simulating the emergency evacuation of the population during a crisis with a scenario-based approach

The purpose of this article is to model variables and scenarios affecting emergency evacuation during crises such as war and earthquake. The statistical population includes 160 specialists, academic staff and graduate students. The research method is descriptive-analytical. Random sampling method and Cochran's formula was used. Analysis has been done based on Wizard, Any Logic and Anp software. 8 scenarios with a maximum of two incompatible factors are considered for modeling in Any Logic. The more critical scenario obtained from the simulation was selected and the solutions were checked in the Anp software. Previous researches have not explained the simulated scenarios with the scientific method. We have used decision-making techniques and combined them with simulation to select solutions and scenarios. The evacuation time in the fifth scenario is longer than the other scenarios and we considered this scenario more critical. The results of Anp show that the criteria of adding doors and removing obstacles with weights of 0.287 and 0.262 have been ranked the highest. According to the normalized weight in the sub-criteria, in the criterion of time, the escape time in the corridors and stairs (with a weight of 0.65), in the cost, executive dimension (with a weight of 0.608), in the ability to execute, the ability to direct the operation. (with a weight of 0.8), in environmental effects, impact on the public (with a weight of 0.705) and in guarantee of traffic, the status of traffic management (with a weight of 0.756) have been ranked highest.
