Abstract
In this paper we propose the use of a system that provides movement decision support to evacuees. We first present a fully distributed system, which takes into account the spatial characteristics of hazard propagation. We also design and evaluate a system that is based on a decentralised architecture. We use a multi-agent simulation platform for building evacuation that we developed, in order to evaluate our proposed systems.
