Abstract Summary: Evacuation of labors during emergency situations is a crucial aspect when considering construction project planning. To support emergency evacuation planning, it is critical to estimate labor evacuation times during project execution. This research presents a framework that aids in planning of construction labors emergency evacuation using building information models (BIM) and computer simulation. 4 Dimention models are created using BIM in order to generate construction project scheduling to visualize evacuation of labors in emergency situations at any time during project execution. Computer simulation is adopted by applying agent-based simulation to model the behavior of labors in evacuation situations. MassMotion simulation platform is utilized to implement agent-based simulation. Ranking and selection statistical procedures are used to determine the best simulated model configuration among the considered four alternatives. Multi Criteria Decision Making is applied to help in selecting the suitable construction alternative. The proposed framework is examined within the context of a case study that considers evacuation of labors during the construction of building in Egyptian social housing national project |
