Abstract

As part of the German Government’s high-tech strategy, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has launched a programme on “Research for Civil Security”. The field of “Protecting and Saving Human Life” in this programme includes funding for the Hermes Project. The project with a three year duration was completed in December 2011. The aim of the collaborative project was to improve safety for people in large multifunctional buildings and also at big events by exploring the effectiveness of an evacuation assistant. In this project, we realized a real-time simulation for the reliable prediction of evacuation process.
