Abstract:

In order to find out the development direction of pedestrian and traffic evacuation simulation software with independent intellectual property rights, the existing mainstream software was sorted out and the problems and key technologies of software development were put forward. Firstly, the development status of pedestrian and traffic evacuation simulation software was introduced, the mainstream software at home and abroad were compared in terms of underlying model, functionality and expandability. Then, judgment rules of the technical level of software and the level of independent intellectual property rights were introduced, and the problems and difficulties in the development of pedestrian and traffic evacuation simulation software were clarified. Finally, the application and impact of pedestrian and traffic evacuation simulation software were introduced. Strategic requirements, objectives and key frontier technologies for software development were proposed. The results show that pedestrian and traffic evacuation simulation software is widely used, and there is still a big gap between domestic software and foreign mainstream commercial software. The underlying model of mainstream commercial software cannot be changed and the application scenarios are limited, so it is necessary to do research on self-developed simulation software of pedestrian and traffic evacuation.

Key words: pedestrian evacuation, traffic evacuation, simulation software, emergency management, public security
