Models

Below is a list of some Evacuation Models that are currently available. This is not comprehenisive as model availability changes all the time. In addition, since the use of lifts/elevators during emergency situations has also generated substantial interest in recent years a list of lift/elevator only simulation tools is included (note that certain evacuation models can also represent lifts/elevators).
 
Click on the link for each model to obtain further details. An attempt has been made to ensure that the details provided are accurate and current (most of the details have been collected from the model developers themselves), however, omissions are possible. Issues with the data presented on the site or requests for additions can be made to evacmod@gmail.com or, after logging in, sending a private message to "admin".
 
We hope the list is useful for anyone wishing to know more about the models available and their current capabilities. Further guidance in model selection can be found in the following article by E.Kuligowski and S.Gwynne:
