Tóm tắt

The evacuation process from endangered areas (EA) into safe spaces in crisis situations is modelled by means of simple agents (gate-ways equipped by sensors). Petri nets (PN) are utilized here to model the EA structure as well as the agents and their cooperation. More precisely, timed PN (TPN) and first-order hybrid PN (FOHPN) are used to do this. Rooms, other spaces to be evacuated (corridors) and the safe spaces out of EA (where people are evacuated) are modelled by TPN places and FOHPN continuous places. Gate-ways are modelled by TPN subnets and by FOHPN continuous transitions. While the supervisor for the TPN gate-ways can be synthesized by means of place/transition PN (P/T PN), the blocks of FOHPN discrete places and transitions are used to affect the gate-ways. Depending on the immediate throughput of the gate-ways the escape time behaviour is found in the process of simulation. This paper is the extended version of the paper (Čapkovič Intelligent Information and Database Systems. LNAI. Springer, Cham Heidelberg 2014) presented in the ACIIDS 2014 conference.
