Abstract

The article proposes a stochastic model of the process of emergency evacuation from the height in case of fire while using self-rescue equipment. The technical characteristics of escape equipment and psychophysiological factors of people's behavior in case of fire are simultaneously factored into the united model. An evaluation criterion of the effectiveness of the use of escape equipment in case of fire in the buildings is proposed. The set up model allows estimating the effectiveness of the use of escape equipment from the height, to predict the results of the emergency evacuation system control. The use of the model can help in defending control decisions on the number and types of escape and evacuation equipment from the height that buildings should be equipped with to maintain the required individual fire risk index.
