了解到不可能复制真实的恐慌紧急情况并在这种人为制造的危险情况下实验人体对象，本文重点研究了包括残疾人在内的异质人群在半恐慌模拟情景下的疏散，在这种情景下，人们往往比非恐慌疏散中的人更匆忙，但比恐慌紧急情况下的人表现出更少的紧迫感。最终，我们打算在一个24层建筑的模拟环境中估计和量化精神定向障碍和身体疲劳对六个不同残疾群体和整个群体的平均疏散时间的影响。根据我们的实验，由于对意外危险的认识而导致的突然情绪升级导致的精神定向障碍，根据模拟建筑物疏散路线的复杂程度，平均疏散时间增加了25%。此外，疏散过程中人体累积的体力疲劳也会明显延误疏散时间。最重要的是，这两个主要因素的影响大小取决于个人的残疾类型，暗示着为每个群体制定疏散计划和战略的需要。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Understanding the impossibility of replicating a real panic emergency situation and experimenting human objects in such artificially created dangerous situation, this paper focuses on the evacuation of a heterogeneous population including people with disabilities in a semi-panic simulated situation in which people tend to hurry more than those in non-panic evacuation but exhibit less urgency than those in a panic emergency. Ultimately, we intend to estimate and quantify the effects of mental disorientation and physical fatigue on the average evacuation times of six different disability groups and the entire group in a simulated environment of a 24-story building. According to our experiments, mental disorientation due to sudden emotion escalation from the recognition of unexpected dangers increases the average evacuation times up to 25 percent depending on the complexity of evacuation routes of the simulated buildings. In addition, accumulated physical fatigue of human beings during the evacuation process could also significantly delay the evacuation time. Most of all, the impact magnitudes of these two main factors vary depending on the types of disabilities of individuals, insinuating the needs of developing evacuation plans and strategies for each group.
