Abstrak

As China's population ages and the notion of contemporary people evolves, an increasing number of elderly people opt to spend their final years in a nursing home. Recently, there have been more fires in nursing facilities for the elderly. As a result, using computer simulation technology, this paper creates an evacuation micro-simulation model for the elderly and nursing staff, investigates the impact of psychological characteristics and evacuation behavior of the elderly and nursing staff on fire escape during the fire evacuation process, and designs fire evacuation for nursing homes. Based on the nursing home's regular evacuation paradigm, the study examines the behavioral elements. To simulate the three models and the influence of various behavioral and psychological features on fire evacuation, the authors utilized the MATLAB software, which is based on Agent theory and cellular automata. The simulation results show that the three models proposed in this study are capable of accurately describing reality.
