Aircraft Evacuation Simulation Study

This study analyzed the evacuation process of aircraft cabin personnel, with a focus on the impact of emergency exit configuration on evacuation efficiency. The research results indicated that the number and location of emergency exits are key factors determining evacuation time. In the case of only one exit, the evacuation time was significantly longer than that of multiple exit configurations. Utilizing three exits could reduce the evacuation time to 76 seconds. Additionally, the age and gender distribution of passengers, as well as priority rules, also had a significant impact on the evacuation process. The study further demonstrated that the activation of emergency exits and rear cabin doors could significantly enhance evacuation efficiency, while the opening of the front cabin door had a relatively smaller effect.
