The Research of VR-based Evacuation Commander Training System for Tunnel Fire

Abstract

In order to control the economic and social impacts of tunnel fire, a training system based on virtual reality technology is developed to train fire evacuation commander. This system collects action and voice commands through virtual reality device, and dynamically updates the evacuees’ behaviors. Combining with the fire scene and real time status of evacuees, this system simulates the evacuation process and assesses the numerical effect of commander intervention. The simulation experiment of Dalian Road tunnel model is taken as an example to demonstrate the effectiveness of the training system.
