Abstract

In this paper we present simulation results for an auditorium. The results have been obtained by the programs Aseri, buildingExodus, FDS+Evac, and PedGo. Additionally they are compared to hand calculations based on Predtetschenski’s and Milinski’s model and a capacity analysis. Beside the calculation of RSET the focus of this paper is on the predicted locations of congestions.
