Modelling human behaviour for improving infrastructure in Canada

该研究项目的目标是为加拿大咨询从业者开发基于性能的火灾设计(PBFD)指南，以允许理解人类行为及其在基础设施设计中所起的作用。人类行为是一个复杂的主题，因为人口结构多种多样，而且存在不确定性。然而，使用行人行为建模技术，可以减少这些不确定性，并将其纳入基础设施设计。这个合作研究和开发(CRD)项目将是ARUP加拿大公司和约克大学之间的合作。奥雅纳加拿大公司是一家声誉卓著的组织，通过开发其行人建模软件MassMotion来支持行人行为建模的研究。MassMotion是一款正在开发的软件，用于生成传统设计的替代解决方案，可以将复杂的人类行为与减少的不确定性结合在一起。这项研究项目着眼于三种类型的基础设施：体育场、博物馆和养老院和长期疗养院。已获得每个基础设施的人类行为数据，这些数据将被量化，以便在MassMotion软件中使用，以发展其模拟人类行为的能力，减少不确定性，特别是在这些结构类型中看到的工作人员和建筑物居住者之间的互动。该项目的总体目标包括：(1)探索目前可用的行人运动建模软件(如MassMotion)的问题；(2)评估三种公共基础设施的设计，这些基础设施将容纳依赖于工作人员互动的不同人群(疗养院、博物馆、体育场)；(3)开发、验证和验证MassMotion软件，用于紧急疏散和日常正常进出操作场景；以及(4)帮助为PBFD建立适当框架的输入，以考虑到未来的加拿大国家建筑规范版本和其他北美规范和标准。

The goal of this research project is to develop performance based fire design (PBFD) guidance for the Canadian consultancy practitioner to allow for the understanding of human behaviour and the role it has on the design of infrastructure. Human behaviour is a complex subject due to varied demographics and the uncertainties that they present. However, using pedestrian behaviour modelling techniques, these uncertainties can be reduced and incorporated in the design of infrastructure. This Collaborative Research and Development (CRD) project will be a collaboration between ARUP Canada and York University. ARUP Canada is a reputable organization which supports research of pedestrian behaviour modelling through the development of its pedestrian modelling software MassMotion. MassMotion is a software that is being developed to generate alternative solutions to traditional design that can incorporate complex human behaviour with reduced uncertainties. This research project looks at three types of infrastructure: stadiums, museums and retirement and long term care homes. Human behaviour data has been obtained for each infrastructure and this data will be quantified for use in the MassMotion software in order to develop its capabilities of modelling human behaviour with reduced uncertainty, particularly the interactions between staff and building occupants as seen in these structure types. The overarching objectives of the project are to include: (1) exploring issues with pedestrian movement modelling softwares that are currently available such as MassMotion; (2) assessing the designs of three types of common infrastructure which will house diverse populations dependent on staff interaction (care homes, museums, stadiums); (3) developing, validating and verifying MassMotion software for use in emergency evacuation and day-to-day normal ingress and egress operational scenarios; and (4) helping establish input for an appropriate framework for PBFD for consideration into future National Building Code of Canada editions and other North American codes and standards.****
