Abstract

Evacuation guidance systems must be adaptive and distributed in the unstable and harsh environment of disaster evacuation. Numerous dynamic evacuation guidance systems have been proposed and studied; however, few of them focus on the unstable evacuation environment that makes computer systems unreliable and malfunctioning. In this study, we introduce a distributed algorithm for a dynamic evacuation guidance system to ensure safe and efficient evacuation, even in the face of system component failures. The system is designed to be resilient, allowing it to continue functioning, providing effective evacuation guidance despite partial system malfunctions. Simulation experiments showed that the distributed system can provide more efficient evacuation guidance than static guidance systems. Furthermore, it correctly guided evacuees in situations where the target exit changed during the evacuation, showcasing the system’s adaptability and effectiveness in handling unforeseen challenges, including system failures.
