Establishing the methodologies for human evacuation simulation in marine accidents

Recently, many lives are lost around the world due to passenger ships accidents. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) developed guidelines in May 1999 for the evacuation analysis of ro–ro passenger ships to prevent loss of life in maritime accidents.

Description
Summary:Recently, many lives are lost around the world due to passenger ships accidents. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) developed guidelines in May 1999 for the evacuation analysis of ro–ro passenger ships to prevent loss of life in maritime accidents. However, IMO considered these guidelines only as an interim measure and allocated 3 years for their improvement and further development as very limited experience and data were available. In this paper, the requirements of IMO and current research works for evacuation from ship are reviewed. Also the applicable evacuation models are presented and several experimental methods to obtain data of human behavior with consideration to ship list and dynamics are evaluated. In addition, the features of evacuation model, which is being developed by KRISO, are finally given.
